CLEVELAND -- Clay Buchholz gave the Boston Red Sox a quick cure with a two-hit, complete-game victory. wholesale jerseys . Buchholz pitched a two-hitter, Cody Ross hit a two-run homer, and the Red Sox broke a three-game losing streak by beating the Cleveland Indians 3-2 on Friday night. But this win didnt come without a cost for the Red Sox as hot-hitting rookie Will Middlebrooks was sent for X-rays after being hit by a pitch. Middlebrooks was hurt after Ross hit a two-run homer to support Buchholzs masterful effort. Boston had already done enough to secure the victory. "Just what the doctor ordered," manager Bobby Valentine said of Buchholzs performance. "He was terrific. He was excellent. He was in control the whole way." Middlebrooks left in the ninth after being struck in the right wrist by Esmil Rogers. Valentine hopes the third baseman, batting .288 with 15 homers and 54 RBIs, isnt lost for long. "He got hit pretty good," Valentine said. "He was in a lot of pain. I dont think hes in there (Saturday). I was hoping it got more meat, but it was straight on the bone." Buchholz (10-3) gave up one earned run in his second complete game this season and fifth of his career. The right-hander improved to 8-2 in 17 starts following a loss the last two years. "Everybody wants to win every night," Buchholz said of being a skid stopper. "When you do it, sure it feels good." Ross broke a 1-1 tie with a 420-foot shot over the wall in centre field off Chris Seddon (0-1) in the sixth. Asdrubal Cabrera had both Cleveland hits, including his 13th homer, but the Indians had their two-game winning streak broken and lost for the 12th time in 14 games. "Thats the best Ive seen a guy against us, and weve seen some pretty good pitching this year," Indians manager Manny Acta said. "We couldnt do anything. He was way too good mixing his pitches." Buchholz said he threw two types of changeups, a curve, and spotted his fastball on both sides of the plate. He hasnt allowed more than two earned runs in five consecutive starts, the longest streak by a Boston starter since Tim Wakefield did it six times in a row in 2002. Buchholz didnt get a decision in three of those outings, however. The right-hander gave up Cabreras one-out homer in the first and an unearned run in the sixth. He struck out six, walked none, and moved to 6-1 with a 2.08 ERA in 11 starts since May 27. The Red Sox tied it at 1 with an unearned run in the fourth. Mike Aviles drew a one-out walk and advanced to third on a wild pickoff throw by Seddon. Dustin Pedroia singled Aviles home. The Indians twice robbed Jacoby Ellsbury of potential hits as they preserved the 1-1 tie. In the fourth, left fielder Ezequiel Carrera dove to his left to snag a line drive hit by Ellsbury in the left-centre gap. In the fifth, centre fielder Michael Brantley raced in and slid along his stomach to take away a potential bloop hit. Pedroia singled with one out in the sixth. One out later, Ross connected for his 18th homer that made it 3-1. "It was a slider," Seddon said. "I should have bounced it. I didnt bounce it and he hit it." Cleveland got an unearned run in the bottom half. Jason Donald reached third as Boston made two errors on his leadoff grounder up the middle. Pedroia got in front of the ball, which skipped off his glove. The shortstop Aviles tracked down the ball in short centre, and threw to first as Donald made a wide turn with the idea of trying for second. He ended up walking to third when Aviles throw bounced over the Boston dugout. Donald scored on Carreras sacrifice fly to make it 3-2. Seddon allowed five hits and two earned runs in six innings in his second start since Cleveland purchased the left-handers contract from Triple-A Columbus on Aug. 5. NOTES: Boston LHP Felix Doubront will miss his next start, and RHP Aaron Cook will start Wednesday against Baltimore. Valentine said Doubronts velocity has been down, and he might be helped by skipping a start. ... OF Scott Podsednik, signed by Boston before the game, started in left. He was traded to Arizona on July 31, but was released after declining an assignment to the minors. ... OF Ryan Sweeney (broken hand) was moved to the 60-day disabled list to make room for Podsednik on the 40-man roster. ... Indians DH Travis Hafner, on the DL with a bulging disc in his back, had an injection to relieve inflammation. There is no timetable for his return. ... Cleveland released ex-Boston RHP Derek Lowe, who had been designated for assignment on Aug. 2. ... Valentine said DH David Ortiz (sore heel) likely wont be healthy enough to be activated Sunday. ... Red Sox RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka (back) gave up two runs over 4 2-3 innings in a rehab start at Triple-A Pawtucket. cheap nfl jerseys . RUDY GAY (Kings): Bottom line, it didnt work out the way Raptors fans had hoped it would. cheap nfl jerseys . Speculation on Luongos future with the Canucks was rampant after the veteran goaltender was benched for the second straight game in favour of backup Cory Schneider, who made 43 saves in a 3-1 win in L.A. on Wednesday night. http://www.cheapjerseysmart.us/ . Albert, Alta., has an easy time of it Sunday at the world senior curling championship. cheap nfl jerseys . Quebecor president Pierre Karl Peladeau stressed at a wide-ranging news conference that he will continue trying to bring an NHL team back to the city, once home to the Quebec Nordiques. He promised Tuesday to develop amicable ties with the league and lobby discreetly -- an oblique reference, perhaps, to the leagues long-running feud with billionaire businessman Jim Balsillie, who has loudly campaigned for another Canadian team. cheap jerseys . Valanciunas averaged 11.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.07 blocks and 27.1 minutes in 15 games in March. He shot .620 from the field and ranked first among Eastern Conference rookies in rebounds, blocks and field goal percentage.TAMPA, Fla. -- Alex Rodriguez will start a second minor league injury rehabilitation assignment on Friday at Double-A Trenton, hoping to return to the New York Yankees before any suspension by Major League Baseball. Rodriguez played a simulated game Thursday at the teams spring training home, and New York said he will play for Trenton against Reading for two games through Saturday. With the Yankees at San Diego on Sunday, there is little chance the team will tell him fly across the country after a night game for a day game in California. If hes not suspended by then, the three-time MVP could rejoin New York for its series opener Monday at the Chicago White Sox. However, it appears MLB will suspend Rodriguez by then for ties to Biogenesis of America, a closed Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. Four years ago Rodriguez admitted using PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03, but he repeatedly has denied using them since. Because of wet grounds, the Yankees moved Rodriguezs simulated game from their minor league complex across the Dale Mabry highway to Steinbrenner Field. The ballpark was closed to media, who watched from a walkway behind the right-field bullpen. Rodriguez saw 31 pitches over six at-bats, played thiird and ran bases during the simulated game. cheap jerseys. About two dozen media members and five television trucks were on hand -- but no fans. Coming back from January hip surgery, Rodriguez was .200 (8 for 40) with two homers and eight RBIs in 13 minor league games from July 2-20 for Class A Tampa and Charleston (S.C.), Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The assignment was cut a day short when he complained of quadriceps tightness, and the Yankees said an MRI in New York on July 21 showed a grade 1 strain. Rodriguez pushed to be activated later that week, retaining a doctor without giving the Yankees the required notification, and the physician claimed he couldnt detect an injury. During a conference call with Yankees officials on July 25 -- Rodriguez insisted one of his lawyers be on the call -- the sides agreed to a schedule for his return. He appeared ready to talk as he was leaving the minor league complex, waving a group of writers to his car in the parking lot and rolling down the window. However, when A-Rod saw a second group with TV cameras approaching, he said "Ill talk to you guys, but no cameras." Rodriguez closed the window and kept the car stationary for a moment, then left without saying another word to reporters. ' ' '
