导出博客文章BOSTON -- With the American League East title already in hand, the Boston Red
Sox are focused on celebrating David Ortizs legacy in Sundays regular season
finale against Toronto.But the Blue Jays still have some unfinished
business.Toronto (88-73) needs a win to lock up an AL wild card spot, as their
4-3 victory Saturday pulled them into a tie for the top spot with the Baltimore
Orioles, who lost 7-3 to the New York Yankees earlier in the day.The Blue Jays
can still make the playoffs with a loss Sunday, but that could introduce the
need for a play-in game against either the Detroit Tigers or Seattle Mariners.Im
not worried about that, Toronto manager John Gibbons said. We want to enjoy this
one. Theyve been hard to come by, so well let (others) worry about that.Boston
(93-68) trails ALDS opponent Cleveland by a one-half game after the Indians
bested the Kansas City Royals 6-3 on Saturday.The Red Sox won the regular-season
series with Cleveland 4-2, so the Indians must finish one game ahead of Boston
to gain home-field advantage. If both teams win or lose Sunday, Cleveland must
win a makeup contest in Detroit on Monday to get the extra home game.Obviously
we would like the home-field advantage, Red Sox utility man Brock Holt said.
Well come ready to go tomorrow. Hopefully well play that first game here.Ortiz,
meanwhile, will play the 2,408th and final regular season game -- and his
1,014th at Fenway -- of his storied 20-year career.The man affectionately known
as Big Papi has put together a resume worthy of Hall of Fame consideration,
hitting .286 with 541 home runs -- 17th most all-time -- and 1,768 RBI.As they
have done all weekend, the Red Sox will honor Ortiz with a pregame ceremony and
are asking fans to be in their seats by 2 p.m. ET ahead of a scheduled 3:05 p.m.
first pitch.David Price (17-9, 4.04 ERA) has a chance to end an up-and-down
inaugural season with the Red Sox as an 18-game winner, but likely wont go deep
into the game.Hes (been) under a lot of scrutiny as we know, said Red Sox
manager John Farrell, who anticipates limiting Prices pitch count, and yet you
look at the body of work that hes put in for us, and hes been a very strong
starter for us.Price has been masterful in his career against the Blue Jays,
posting a 17-3 record with a 2.44 ERA and 143 strikeouts in 24 career starts.His
.850 winning percentage versus Toronto is the highest ever against the team with
the minimum of 10 decisions.Despite the lack of team success, Blue Jays sluggers
Jose Bautista (.345, 20-for-58, six homers, 14 RBI) and Edwin Encarnacion (.250,
12-for-48, four homers, nine RBI) have given Price fits.Toronto counters with
Aaron Sanchez (14-2, 3.06 ERA), who is 1-0 with a 5.19 ERA in three starts
against Boston this season and 3-1 with a 3.89 ERA in 13 career appearances
(five starts).Jackie Bradley Jr. has hit Sanchez well in a limited sample size,
going 3-for-7 with a home run and four RBI. Ortiz is 4-for-9 with a double, an
RBI and four walks versus Sanchez.
Wholesale Vapormax . Now, correct
me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating
a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt
the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was
this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of
these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night
overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind
the net is a Montreal goal.

ct. PITTSBURGH -- Music was blaring in the Pittsburgh Pirates clubhouse late
Wednesday night.Thats not all that unusual, but it seemed just a little louder
than normal, and the players seemed more upbeat.Thats because they not only
avoided a sweep by St. Louis, but also ended an eight-game losing streak with a
4-3 victory against the Cardinals.That will allow the Pirates to go into a
four-game home series against the Cincinnati Reds starting Thursday without that
skid hanging over them.Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle preaches the
day-at-a-time approach as much as anyone, but seemed as relieved as
anyone.Absolutely, he said, smiling. You play to win. You want to play well, and
you have a process we follow (but) winnings better than losing. Ive figured that
much out.Hurdle is one win shy of becoming the sixth Pirates manager in history
to reach 500 wins with the club.For the first time in several days, the Pirates
are in a better spot then their opponent. Pittsburgh (68-69) can get back to
.500 with a strong weekend and still has a shot at the postseason, trailing St.
Louis -- which holds the second wild-card spot -- by 4 1/2 games.Cincinnati has
lost four in a row and eight of 10 and is playing out the season.The Reds on
Wednesday lost at home 6-3 to New York, giving the Mets a three-game sweep.
Cincinnati is 57-81 but has played Pittsburgh close. The Pirates hold a 6-5 edge
in 11 meetings and outscored the Reds by only 40-39.Cincinnati made three outs
on the bases early and missed a lot of opportunities Wednesday against the Mets.
Mannager Bryan Price describes that as atypical, even for his underachieving
club.ddddddddddddn fact, Price guaranteed better performances at PNC Park.When
youre (this) far under .500, to have regular games like this as a regular part
of what were doing would make it a way more challenging season than it already
is, Price told MLB.com. Guys, for the most part, have really played hard and
played relatively to their ability and sometimes beyond. (Wednesday) will be
something we dont see for a long time. Im confident in that. This isnt our
typical game by any means. We will certainly play better in Pittsburgh.The Reds
had runners on base in every inning Wednesday but stranded 12, going 3-for-13
with runners in scoring position.Its a tough series, but hopefully we get back
on track against Pittsburgh and try to finish the season strong, Anthony
DeSclafani, who took the loss Wednesday, told MLB.com.Right-hander Dan Straily
(11-7, 3.83 ERA) is scheduled to start Thursday for Cincinnati. Hes already made
a career-high 29 appearances and makes his career-high 28th start. He is 2-1
with a 3.23 ERA in seven appearances (four starts) against Pittsburgh.The
Pirates counter with right-hander Ivan Nova (11-6, 4.34).Nova is 4-0 with a 2.89
ERA in his first six starts since Pittsburgh acquired him from the Yankees on
Aug. 1. He allowed two runs in six innings in a no-decision Saturday against
Milwaukee in his last start.
