BOSTON -- Jarrod Saltalamacchia was behind the plate for Clay Buchholzs seven shutout innings. Then he drove in the only run of a rainy game in the eighth. The catcher who has been heating up after a slow start drove a run-scoring double through the mist and off the left field wall and the Boston Red Sox won their fifth straight, 1-0 over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night. "It seemed like the first to score was going to win the game," Saltalamacchia said. "Both pitchers pitched great. ... They had a lot of situations to score and we had Buck to hold them down." Both starters went seven innings. Buchholz, who won his previous three starts, struck out seven and allowed four hits and one walk. Phil Coke, who was 0-3 in his previous five starts, had four strikeouts and gave up three hits and a walk. "I cant be upset with anything other than the fact that we didnt end up winning," Coke said. Daniel Bard (1-3), who replaced Buchholz to start the eighth, threw one pitch before the game was delayed for 26 minutes by rain. When play resumed, he retired the side in order. The Tigers had plenty of chances to score. They were 0-for-10 with runners in scoring position and the game ended with Victor Martinez standing on third as Jonathan Papelbon struck out Ryan Raburn for his eighth save in nine opportunities. "Hes got a lot on his fastball," Saltalamacchia said. "Hes controlling the ball where he wants to put it. Hes fun to catch and definitely fun to catch." The feeling in the Tigers bullpen about one of their relievers was less pleasant. Ryan Perry set down the first two Red Sox batters in the bottom of the eighth. But manager Jim Leyland brought in lefty Daniel Schlereth (0-1) to face lefty Carl Crawford. The move backfired when Crawford walked on a full count. Leyland visited Schlereth on the mound but left him in. "I just went out and told him, Just dont get caught in between Crawford stealing and the hitter. If weve got to hold him, throw over there, " Leyland said. "It seemed like he got caught a little and left (the pitch) up." Saltalamacchia pounded it off the wall on a night when the rain kept other balls from travelling far and gave outfielders trouble seeing them. "We certainly didnt bludgeon them to death tonight, but Salty took a terrific swing. Hes a big strong kid," Boston manager Terry Francona said. "Carl put it in another gear because, off the bat, I dont think thats ... sure that hes going to be able to score and we made it hold up." In his last nine starts, Saltalamacchia is 6-for-21, raising his batting average from .194 to .221. The Tigers threatened in the ninth when Victor Martinez, who caught for the Red Sox last year, led off with a double. He took third on a ground out before Papelbon struck out the last two batters. Detroit lost for just the second time in nine games in a game played in a steady drizzle that got much heavier in the top of the seventh. In spite of that, the starting pitchers were outstanding. Buchholz escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh, striking out Austin Jackson with his career-high 127th pitch on a full count. Jackson tried to hold up his swing and plate umpire Fieldin Culbreth checked with first base umpire Gary Cederstrom, who signalled that Jackson had swung. "I was walking off like there wasnt any doubt," Buchholz said. "I didnt get a good look at it." Leyland agreed that Jackson swung. "I didnt think so at first," he said. "It might have been wishful thinking on my part. My first base coach said he did." Through six innings, each team managed just three hits. For Detroit, all three were doubles -- by Miguel Cabrera in the fourth, Alex Avila in the fifth and Jackson in the sixth. Jackson moved to third on a sacrifice, but Buchholz retired the next two batters. Boston got a one-out single by Dustin Pedroia in the first and a leadoff single by Kevin Youkilis in the second, but both were out when the next batter hit into a double play. Jed Lowrie singled with two outs in the fifth and didnt move up. Notes: Boston RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka went on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained ligament in his pitching elbow that could sideline him for a month. The move came two days after another starter, John Lackey, went on the DL with a strained right elbow. ... Tigers DH Martinez said the time he spent with Boston after being traded there in July 31, 2009 was "the best time of my career." He said "we did everything we could do to come back" but signed a four-year, $50 million contract with Detroit last November. ... Both teams had their previous games rained out on Tuesday. ... The Tigers have at least one extra-base hit in all 42 games, the second longest streak in team history. The longest is 51 in 1919.

Tim Thomas made 20 saves, Brian Campbell had two assists and the Florida Panthers beat Toronto 4-1 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak. The Maple Leafs had won three straight in frigid Toronto and were 9-1-1 in their last 11 coming into the game. Tom Gilbert, Jesse Winchester, Shawn Matthias and Marcel Goc scored for the Panthers. David Clarkson had the goal for Toronto, and Jonathan Bernier stopped 44 shots. Florida made it 3-1 with 6:38 left when Matthias wrist shot from the right circle beat Bernier on the short side. Goc added an empty-net goal with 2:30 remaining. Every skater on the Panthers had at least one shot on goal. "It was probably our best game of the year," Matthias said. "It was an exciting game for us." Toronto closed to 2-1 on Clarksons goal in the third period following a turnover by Tomas Kopecky in the Maple Leafs zone. Nazem Kadri stole the puck from Kopecky and passed to Clarkson, who beat Thomas at 9:31. "When you score a goal like that and you have a couple shifts where youre moving the puck and getting the puck into their zone, weve shown were a team that can come back from that," said Clarkson, who returned to the lineup after missing eight games with an elbow injury. "We didnt come to play right away tonight." Just when it appeared the Maple Leafs might make a comeback, the Panthers scored twice on Matthias goal and then the empty-netter. "I think it was pretty solid," Panthers coach Peter Horachek said. "Even when there was down time and the game was going the other way, momentum shift, we took it back pretty quickly." The Panthers stretchhed their lead to 2-0 on Winchesters goal at 5:21 of the third.dddddddddddd Scott Gomez made a drop pass to Campbell and his shot from the right circle deflected off Winchester and over Bernier into the top of the net. Campbell was originally credited with the goal before an official scoring change after the game gave it to Winchester. The Panthers had a goal disallowed about a minute later. A shot by Erik Gudbranson was initially ruled a goal, but video review showed the puck hit the post, went across the crease and tight-roped the goal line but never crossed it. While the Panthers felt it was one of their best games of the season, it was the opposite for some Toronto players. "Theres no excuse for the way we played," Maple Leafs forward Mason Raymond said. "Weve had a few tough games this year but nowhere near this bad." The Panthers took a 1-0 lead on Gilberts power-play goal at 1:14 of the second. Gilberts shot from the point got past Bernier, who was screened on the play by Floridas Scottie Upshall. The power-play goal was only the Panthers second in their past 53 opportunities. The Maple Leafs started slow, did not register their first shot until 7:19 in and were outshot 19-4 in the first. "We didnt have anything going except one person in the lineup is outstanding for our hockey club, and that was our goaltender," Toronto coach Randy Carlyle said. "We didnt seem to have any jump or passion to play the game and its kind of mind-boggling right now." NOTES: James van Riemsdyk, fighting the flu, flew in Tuesday morning to join the team in time to play in his 300th NHL game. ... Kadri has three goals and five assists during his four-game point streak. ... Gilbert has 12 points in his last 17 games. cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
