BOSTON -- Clay Buchholz feels like hes ready for the postsesason.
Boomer Esiason Bengals 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)

. Booth picked up 65 caps after making her national team debut in 2002 at the
age of 17. She most recently played for Sky Blue FC of the National Womens
Soccer League. "It just felt like it was my time to move on," she said in a
phone interview from her hometown of Burlington, Ont. SEATTLE -- It wasnt lost
on Chris Nelson that Felix Hernandez was the one he took deep to provide the Los
Angeles Angels all their offence. "It was huge because you know he is not going
to give up a lot. History just tells us were not going to score a bunch of
runs," Nelson said. Nelson hit a two-run homer off Hernandez and the Angels
ruined Eric Wedges return to the dugout with a 2-0 victory over the Mariners on
Friday night. Wedge managed the Mariners for the first time since he had a mild
stroke a month ago. He acknowledged being anxious about getting back on the
bench and called his ailment "a heads up." Then Wedge watched his offence be
unable to solve Garrett Richards (4-5) and a pair of relievers who combined on a
five-hitter for the Angels. "As the game wore on I felt more and more
comfortable and then by the end of the game I felt like I was right there,"
Wedge said. "I wasnt sure how the energy was going to be, but my energy was good
and the focus was good. Just didnt have a whole hell of a lot of action
tonight." Nelson snapped an 0-for-17 slide when he connected in the second for
his third homer. Josh Hamilton scored on Nelsons long ball after leading off the
inning with a single, and it was the only time Hernandez (12-7) was touched all
night. The biggest problem for Hernandez was the gem Richards was tossing on the
other side. "Richards throw an unbelievable game, so you got to give credit to
that," Hernandez said. Richards (4-5) struck out four and walked two in 7 1-3
innings, but was forced out of the game after taking a liner off his right
forearm. The right-hander had thrown just 89 pitches and was in line for a
career performance before leaving. Dustin Ackley led off the eighth with a shot
back to the mound that caught Richards and deflected to shortstop Erick Aybar,
who threw to first for the out. Manager Mike Scioscia immediately went to the
mound and Richards was replaced by Dane De La Rosa. The Angels said Richards had
a forearm contusion. De La Rosa finished off the eighth and Ernesto Frieri
pitched the ninth for his 27th save. Richards said the ball only grazed him,
avoided his elbow and he should be fine to make his next start. "I didnt have my
sharpest stuff inn the beginning and as the game went on I got a feel for the
breaking ball and the extension on my fastball," Richards said.
Vincent Rey Jersey. "I was just filling up
the zone and throwing quality strikes and going right at guys." Wedges month off
was filled with doctors appointments and meetings, researching and relaxing,
with the goal of figuring out why he had suffered a stroke at 45 years old and
how to prevent it from happening again. "Its a shot across the bow, its a
mulligan, its a heads up," Wedge said before the game. "And Im taking it as
such." Hernandez was handed consecutive losses for the third time this season,
even though he was cruising in his final innings. But a taxing fourth inning
where he had to throw 29 pitches and left runners stranded on the corners ended
up equaling an early exit. Hernandez struck out Grant Green to end the threat in
the fourth, and then struck out four of the final six batters he faced. He
recorded 10 strikeouts for the 25th time in his career and the fourth time this
season. Seattle finally got multiple runners on base in the same inning when
Brad Miller led off the sixth with a single and Kyle Seager walked on a 3-2
pitch with one out. Richards quickly defused the threat, getting Kendrys Morales
to ground into a double play. He also got Endy Chavez to ground into a double
play to end the seventh after Justin Smoak singled. "He was not ahead of hitters
tonight -- his first-ball strike ratio was not good -- but his stuff played,"
Scioscia said. "He got back into counts, got some outs when he had to, got some
double play balls. He had good stuff, I just dont know if his command was as
crisp tonight." NOTES: Minor leaguer D.J. Peterson, Seattles first-round pick in
the June draft, underwent surgery in Iowa to repair a broken jaw after he was
hit in the face by a pitch on Thursday night. Seattle GM Jack Zduriencik said
Peterson might need a second surgery to fully repair the injury. ... The Angels
recalled RHP Cory Rasmus from Triple-A Salt Lake and designated RHP Billy
Buckner for assignment. Rasmus will be the 25th pitcher used by the Angels this
season. ... Seattle 2B Nick Franklin missed his second straight game with a
laceration on his knee.
