BOSTON -- Clay Buchholz feels like hes ready for the postsesason.
Mario Chalmers Jersey . He just wont have a
perfect record when he gets there. Buchholz lost for the first time this season,
and the AL East champion Boston Red Sox rested a couple of regulars while
falling to Mark Buehrle and the Toronto Blue Jays, 4-2, on Saturday night.
Having missed more than three months with a strained neck, Buchholz feels like
his strength is where it was before the injury. He just needs to fine tune a few
things. "I feel good. Movement on all the pitches is there," he said. "Its just
the command and location and where to start it, which is sometimes hard to get
better. The velocity is there and the body feels good." Buchholz (11-1) gave up
two earned runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. He had pitched 11
scoreless innings in his previous two starts since coming off the disabled list.
A day after the Red Sox clinched the division title, they lost for just the
sixth time in 21 games. Manager John Farrell didnt start second baseman
Dustin Pedroia and first baseman Mike Napoli, and used starter Ryan Dempster for
an inning of relief. Buchholz was the first Boston pitcher to start a season
11-0 in his initial 14 starts since Roger Clemens went 13-0 in 1986. "I thought
Clay was pretty sharp and pretty crisp for the time he was out on the mound
tonight," Farrell said. "He was fighting to get back out for the seventh, but
seeing the progression hes on, I think was a comfortable number of pitches for
tonight." Buchholz broke into a slight grin when he was asked about how hard it
is to go undefeated for an entire season. "It probably could have easily have
happened sooner than now," he said. "The guys that play behind me all year have
found ways to come back in situations where I came out of the game behind in the
game." Bostons lead over Oakland dropped to 1 1/2 games for the ALs best record
and home-field throughout the post-season. Dempster made his first relief
appearance since 2007, working a scoreless eighth. Boston third baseman
Will Middlebrooks shifted to first for the first time in his career. Jonny Gomes
and David Ross each drove in a run for the Red Sox. Adam Linds RBI double
highlighted a three-run fourth that carried the Blue Jays. Buehrle (12-9) held
Boston to one run for the third time in five starts that hes faced them this
year. He allowed five hits, striking out five without walking a batter. He
reached 200 innings for the 13th straight season. "Wish it was in a better
situation," Buehrle said of reaching the mark again. Manager John Gibbons was
impressed by the left-handers season. "Steady Eddy," Gibbons said. "Doing what
he has been doing his whole career. You get 25 Buehrles and you are probably
gonna have a good year." Casey Janssen pitched the ninth for his 33rd save in 35
chances. Torontos Munenori Kawasaki was ejected by first base umpire Eric Cooper
in the eighth after slamming his helmet when he was called out on a close play.
The Blue Jays scored all three runs with two outs in the fourth after
Brett Lawrie beat out a routine grounder to short for an infield hit. Lind
followed with an RBI double, Rajai Davis added a run-scoring single and
Moises Sierra scored from third on Buchholzs errant pickoff throw to first.
Gomes RBI single cut it to 3-1 in the sixth. Ross run-scoring grounder sliced it
to 3-2 in the seventh after Xander Bogaerts reached second on Lawries fielding
error at third base. J.P. Arencibia snapped an 0-for-27 stretch with an RBI
single off the Green Monster in the Toronto ninth. NOTES: Pedroia had started
151 of the teams initial 152 games. He pinch-hit in the seventh and struck out.
"The hardest thing is hes not going to know what to do," Farrell said, joking
before the game. "He may end up back on the field because we want to get him the
heck out of the dugout." ... Middlebrooks knew things would be a different in
his debut at first. "Ive never played first in my life," he said, standing on
the field after batting practice. "The hardest thing for me is going to be how
to try and hold the runners on, which way to stand with my footwork." ... Red
Sox CF Jacoby Ellsbury, sidelined for his 14th straight game with a broken small
bone in his right foot, ran and hit in the cage. The club is planning for his
return before the end of the regular season. ... Felix Doubront (10-6, 4.15 ERA)
goes for Boston against R.A. Dickey (13-12, 4.21 ERA) in the series -- and
Bostons home-- finale Sunday.
Chris Bosh Jersey . Coach Tom Thibodeau says
the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few
weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was
ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls.
Alonzo Mourning Jersey . -- Jimmie Johnson
held off a teammate, passed a pair of Hall of Famers, and dominated once more at
Dover.
