BOSTON -- Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell said he will probably start Jake Peavy in Game 3 of the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals, followed by Clay Buchholz in Game 4. Farrell said after Bostons 8-1 victory in Game 1 on Wednesday night that he will likely give Buchholz another day of rest. "Well probably look to give him every extra day we can," Farrell said, "and that would point to Sunday, being Game 4." Buchholz gave up five runs in eight innings and two runs in five innings in his AL championship series starts against Detroit; Peavy gave up seven runs in three innings in his only ALCS start. Asked before the World Series opener whether Buchholz had an injury, Farrell said, "Not to the point of keeping him out of starting." Farrell said he wanted to see the Cardinals in the first two games; his decision also could be influenced by whether it looks as if the Red Sox would need their Game 3 starter to come back for a potential seventh game. Jon Lester started against St. Louis Adam Wainwright in Game 1, with John Lackey scheduled to go for Boston against Michael Wacha in Game 2 on Thursday night at Fenway Park. St. Louis is expected to start Joe Kelly and Lance Lynn in Games 3 and 4. Wacha, a rookie whom the Cardinals obtained with a compensatory draft pick when Albert Pujols signed with the Angels, was 4-1 with a 2.78 ERA in the regular season, spending part of the year with Triple-A Memphis. He is 3-0 with a 0.43 ERA in the post-season. "I want the ball in big situations. Theres none bigger than the World Series," Wacha said. "And so Im excited about getting it and I think every guy on our team wants the ball in these kinds of situations." When he found out he would be starting Game 2 at Fenway Park -- his first time pitching in the ballpark -- it created a whole bunch of new things to be excited -- and worried -- about. "This is kind of a tricky little ballpark with the dimensions and that kind of stuff. One pitch can really kind of change a game," Wacha said. "You try not to think too much about it, just try to approach it just like any other game, any other stadium. And thats just making pitches down in the zone and try not to give them too much of a chance to lift it." .

Martin Erat scored the winner in the sixth round of the shootout on Tuesday, despite Washington being outshot 47-32 and giving up many breakaways to the hard-charging Jets.

Both clubs play a conservative game, if at all possible, although Nashville has started to open things up more over the last year or two. However, in Game 1 on Friday night both goaltenders in the early going appeared to be swimming a little bit. PERTH, Australia -- Milos Raonic and Eugenie Bouchard each won their matches to give Canada a 3-0 victory over Italy in a group tie at the Hopman Cup on Thursday. But that was not quite enough to give the team a berth in Saturdays final. Poland narrowly reached the championship by winning a set in mixed doubles against Australia to mathmatically clinch and then went on to win the evening tie 2-1. Canada would have needed an Australian victory to reach the final. Montreals Bouchard needed only 15 minutes on court for a 4-0 victory as Flavia Pennetta quit with right wrist pain to hand Canada a 1-0 lead. Raonic, from Thornhill, Ont., hammered 10 aces and 21 winners in his 6-2, 6-4 win to keep Italys Andrea Seppi winless over six matches and two editions in Perth. Canada won the mixed in a walkover due to Pennettas injury absence. The 23-year-old Raonic said hes pleased with his improving form as the Australian Open start approaches on January 13. "I played much better today, it was night and day between today and my previous two matches," said Raonic. "I had to take matters into my own hands, thats something weve been working oon.dddddddddddd I took the initiative today. "We are leading into a Grand Slam, and you want to make the most of every competitive opportunity." Bouchard would have preferred to have played a proper match against Pennetta, who said that she woke up feeling poorly with the wrist pain, which she also felt at times last season when she returned to the WTA after surgery. "Its disappointing not to play a full match, but Flavia was having problems," said Bouchard, 19. "I was excited to play. "Its also tough to play an injured opponent, it can do things to your game. But I was playing with confidence, I believe in my game and am confident. I feel good, Ive had a good start to the year." Bouchard was playing for the first time since Canadas last group match Sunday. On her one of days off, she visited a horse show and also advised Raonic against going swimming with non-lethal sharks in the city aquarium, which he did anyway in a publicity effort for the event. The 32nd-ranked Bouchard had previously beat Australian Samantha Stosur and fell to Pole Agnieszka Radwanska prior to the Pennetta result. cheap jerseys wholesale jerseys ' ' '
