BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox outfielder Ryan Sweeney is expected to miss the rest of the season after fracturing his left knuckle when he punched a door. . Boston placed him on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday and recalled outfielder Ryan Kalish from Pawtucket. Right-handed reliever Clayton Mortensen also was recalled from the Triple-A team. Asked if Sweeney would miss the rest of the season, general manager Ben Cherington said, "it seems that way." Sweeney, batting .260 with no homers in 63 games, underwent surgery on the knuckle of his left pinkie on Tuesday. He was hurt Monday night when he punched the door after returning to the dugout following his groundout in his fourth at-bat of Bostons 7-3 win over the Detroit Tigers. Cody Ross finished the game in right field. "Disappointing in how it happened. I know Ryan feels badly about it. Ryans been a good teammate," Cherington said. "I dont want to make more out of it than what it is, which was a mistake." Manager Bobby Valentine said he took Sweeney out of the game when the player told him he had trouble throwing. "Boys will be boys," Valentine said. "The door that he happened to hit was dented, so it wasnt the first time." Kalish is back for his second stint with Boston this year. In 18 games in June and July he hit .217 with five RBIs. Mortensen had a 1.33 ERA in nine games with the Red Sox before going to Pawtucket, where was 5-3 with a 1.77 ERA. The Red Sox also removed right-hander Chris Carpenter from the 60-day disabled list and optioned him to Pawtucket. [url=http://www.packersofficialteamstore.com/autographed-a-j--hawk-jersey-nb-96....

LOUIS -- Even Pittsburgh third baseman Pedro Alvarez was starting to lose focus in the later stages of the Pirates 6-3, 19-inning win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. "I was getting a little stagnant out there," he said. "Its one of those things where its mind over matter. Youve just got to fight and keep that desire going." Alvarez played a big role in ending the marathon with his 23rd homer of the season. The drive broke a 3-3 tie as the Pirates won the longest game in the majors this season. It took 6 hours, 7 minutes to finish, trying the longest contest by time, matching a game between Baltimore and Boston on May 6. Both teams scored a run in the 17th, and each club used eight pitchers. Alvarez slammed the go-ahead homer off Barret Browning (1-3). Andrew McCutchen added a two-run single later in the inning. Wandy Rodriguez (8-12), who was set to start for the Pirates on Monday night at San Diego, got the win with two scoreless innings of relief. It was his first win as a reliever in 232 major league appearances. "That was a backyard tug-of-war," Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle said. "We kept playing defence, we kept pitching. At the end of the day, we finally got some separation in the 19th inning. About 9,000 fans from the original crowd of 43,412 stayed until the end. Each team had played a marathon in recent years. St. Louis went 20 innings against the Mets on April 17, 2010, and Pittsburgh played 19 innings at Atlanta on July 26, 2011. The Pirates improved to 4-0 in extra innings this season. They moved two games ahead of St. Louis in the race for the last wild card spot in the NL. The Cardinals have lost three of four overall. "It was a battle all around on both sides," McCutchen said. "They came to play and we were just able to get the win. It feels good." Alvarez picked on a slider from Browning and drove it 408 feet. "It felt good out of my hand," Browning said. "It just stayed up. It dont think Ive ever been this disappointed. I just didnt do my job." Both teams ran out of position players after the 18th inning. Garrett Jones gave Pittsburgh a short-lived 3-2 lead with a bases-loaded infield single in the 17th. He drove in pitcher James McDonald, who singled as a pinch-hitter, the first of his career. "It was just luck," McDonald said. "You know how hard pinch hitting is? So it was pretty much luck." But St. Louis came right back to tie it on a sacrifice fly by Tony Cruz that brought in pinch-runner Ryan Jackson. Yadier Molina and Skip Schumaker bbegan the 17th inning with singles.

St. Louis left-hander Jaime Garcia, sidelined for 64 days with a strain in his pitching shoulder, struck out a career-high 10 and did not allow an earned run in an eight-inning, 107-pitch stint. He gave up five hits, two unearned runs and did not walk a batter. Pittsburgh had a pair of hits in the 16th but Molina threw out Jose Tabata trying to steal and reliever Joe Kelly induced McCutchen to ground out to end the inning. Reliever Edward Mujica got Neil Walker to ground into a double play to end the 11th. Kelly allowed four hits and one run in 5 2-3 innings of his first relief appearance. Carlos Beltran put St. Louis in front with a two-run double in the fourth, and also stole three bases, tying a career high. Beltran leads the NL with 85 RBIs. "Twenty innings or nine innings, a loss is a loss," Beltran said. "We had the opportunities. It just didnt happen." Pittsburgh starter Jeff Karstens gave up two runs and two hits over seven innings. He struck four and walked one. The Pirates scored twice in the sixth to tie it on a pair of infield singles and Garcias throwing error. Clint Barmes reached on an infield hit and Garcia mishandled a bunt attempt by Karstens. Josh Harrison drove in Barmes with a sacrifice fly and McCutchen followed with an infield single. Chris Resop led the Pirates bullpen effort with three scoreless innings. Kevin Correia and Jared Hughes added two scoreless innings each. Hurdle said he has yet to select a starting pitcher to replace Rodriguez on Monday. "Ill come up with something tomorrow," he said.
