BOSTON -- Carlos Beltran waited 16 years to make it to the World Series. Jim Plunkett Jersey . He lasted a little more than an inning. Beltran was injured in Game 1 against the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night when he crashed into the bullpen wall to deprive David Ortiz of a second-inning grand slam. The play turned a homer into a sacrifice fly -- saving three runs but costing the Cardinals Beltrans services for the rest of the game, and maybe longer. "Obviously, hes sore," designated hitter Allen Craig said. "But hopefully he can get back tomorrow." Beltran finished out the half-inning, rubbing his sore side, but he came out after that and was taken to a hospital for X-rays and a CT scan. The tests were all negative and Beltran will be evaluated daily, manager Mike Matheny said. A Cardinals spokesman said after the game that Beltran returned to the ballpark but would not be available for comment. "Hes a huge player for us," said starting pitcher Adam Wainwright. "Everybody knows that. We all know that." Beltran batted .296 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs in the regular season and has 12 RBIs in the playoffs this year. An eight-time All-Star, he hit .337 with 16 homers and 37 RBIs in 45 career post-season games that tied a record for a player before his first World Series appearance. Beltran struck out in his only at-bat Wednesday. The Cardinals could replace him on the roster, but he would be lost for the rest of the Series. Outfielder Adron Chambers is the likely substitute, having been left off the World Series roster when the Cardinals went with rookie infielder Kolten Wong. Game 2 is Thursday night in Boston. Beltrans catch was the rare defensive highlight on a night when the Cardinals bungled their way into an early deficit and went on to lose the Series opener 8-1. One of the best-fielding teams in the league over the regular-season, St. Louis committed three errors in all, with several other misplays that spotted Boston to a 5-0 lead after two innings. "That is not the kind of team that weve been all season," Matheny said. "Theyre frustrated, (and) Im sure embarrassed to a point. We get an opportunity to show the kind of baseball we played all season long and it didnt look anything like what we saw tonight." Shortstop Pete Kozma botched a potential inning-ending double play relay to load the bases in the first. Center fielder Shane Robinson bobbled Mike Napolis double, allowing the bases to clear. Wainwright and catcher Yadier Molina, both Gold Glove winners, allowed an easy popup to fall between them at the start of Bostons two-run second. Wainwright, who waved his arms but then made no attempt to catch the ball, said the responsibility for the misplay was "with the starting pitcher." "I called it. I waited for someone else to take charge. Thats not the way to play baseball," he said. "It was totally my error." Kozma made another error on a bouncer to his right in the second inning. Asked in the clubhouse afterward what happened, the Cardinals shortstop said, "Which one?" The three errors and four unearned runs both matched season highs for St. Louis. "Thats the game in the playoffs: You give them extra outs, theyre going to score," said Kozma, who made only nine errors all season and had never made two in a game before. "Thats how the games work: one thing happens and then youre down 3-0." St. Louis added another error, by third baseman David Freese, and a wild pitch by Carlos Martinez that put a runner on third base with nobody out in the eighth inning and led to Bostons eighth run. "Its a different game if some plays are made that are typically made. Thats a whole different story," Matheny said. "(Boston) is a good club. We know that. But Im just not going to let our guys forget were a good club, too. We make plays, we also put together tough at-bats. ... Right now this is one game that got away from us, and it was in a fashion that were not used to." Karl Joseph Jersey . Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract as a free agent with Cleveland in March, reported symptoms on Monday morning, a team spokesman said. Nate Allen Raiders Jersey . LOUIS -- The New Orleans Saints looked like a team playing out the string. http:///...sper-Raiders-Jersey/ . LOUIS -- St.BARCELONA, Spain - Gareth Bale is set to make his debut for Real Madrid following his world-record transfer when the Spanish club visits Villarreal on Saturday. The match at El Madrigal Stadium comes three days before Madrid travels to Turkey to play Galatasaray in its Champions League opener. Bale practiced for the first time with Madrid on Wednesday, the day after making his first official appearance this season as a substitute for Wales in a 3-0 loss to Serbia. Madrid said forward Cristiano Ronaldo was the first to greet Bale on his arrival to the clubs training facilities. Bale will likely still need time to get fully fit after not playing during the drawn-out negotiations with Tottenham that ended in Madrid breaking its own transfer record for Ronaldo with a 100 million euro ($132 million) payout for the Wales winger. Madrid has won its first three games of the Spanish league season, but it faces a Villarreal which has also made a perfect start in its return to the topflight after one season in the second division. "This is a chance to show that we can compete with anyone and fight with a team like Madrid," Villarreal captain Bruno Soriano said. "Last season we dreamed of playing against teams like this. Now our chance has arrived and we want to play a great match." Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti will still be without injured midfielder Xabi Alonso and will now also be missing defender Marcelo after he picked up an injury with Brazil. Madrid midfielder Asier Illarramendi could also make his debut after recovering from injury. Barcelonna, Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad also play on Saturday to warm up for their Champions League openers. Art Shell Raiders Jersey. Barcelona hosts a Sevilla side looking for its first win of the season. "Playing against Sevilla is always special for me," said defender Adriano, who joined Barcelona from Sevilla in 2010. "(Coach Unai) Emerys teams always give us a hard time, home or away. This time will be no different." Lionel Messi has scored a league-leading five goals in two appearances to have the Catalan club in first place on goal difference. He also scored two more goals for Argentina in the past week. Barcelona hosts Ajax on Wednesday in the Champions League. "(Camp Nou) is one of the toughest grounds to visit in the league, but we are going there with hope that we take away a positive result," Sevilla midfielder Jairo Samperio said. "We cant try to fight them for possession of the ball. We have to be well positioned in defence and look to hit on the break, thats their weak spot." Atletico hosts a frisky Almeria side looking for its fourth win in as many rounds. It then welcomes Zenit St. Petersburg in its return to the Champions League on Wednesday. Sociedad, meanwhile, visits Levante before the Basque club plays Shakhtar Donetsk in Europes top tier club competition on Tuesday.
