Red Sox closer Koji Uehara out for season with broken wrist

121 when the game began.

The under is 8-2 in May’s 10 games behind home plate this season, where he has had a fairly high strike percentage of 64.4.

“Today is a flash of what Jackie is capable of doing, ” Red Sox manager John Farrell said.

“He’s one of the best in the game, if not the best [defensively]…That ball, that Willie Mays ball he had over his head, I was walking back to the dugout because I knew he had a bead on it. That’s how good he is, that’s how confident I am in him”. He’s been a good offensive player there, a contributor. Robbie Ross has shown some signs of being overpowering, but he still is extremely inconsistent most times. “I thought Justin threw well”, manager Brad Ausmus said.

Daniel Norris’ first game in front of his new home fans didn’t go quite the way he hoped. Brock Holt then singled in Bradley, bringing the Red Sox lead to five. But Bradley turned his back and sprinted. That first-inning double was one of just three hits against him on the day, and the only one to go for extra bases. Bradley Jr. scored on a single by Holt. “He’s still a Major League player”, Ausmus said about Bradley.

“In the offseason, whenever there’s someone available out there and I think he can help us out, I’m not afraid to pick up the phone and either talk to that person or talk to our GM about that”, Ortiz said.

Wade Miley (6.0 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 6 SO, 1 HR) and Joe Kelly (5.1 IP, 7 H, 2 R, 2 BB, 7 SO, 1 HR) got whacked around in their starts against the Tigers, but the other three starters gave the team a chance to win which is all you can ask for at this point. But we didn’t get the job done. Weve gotta get outs. You don’t want to load the bases sometimes, because you’re concerned about the walk.

“That was a Willie Mays catch”, Owens said. On the play, Jefry Marte initially charged for the ball and could not get back to first base in time to make the putout from Kinsler.

For the big lefty, who was coming of a solid debut in Yankee Stadium, gave up just one run on three hits over five innings. He was relieved after Kinsler led off the sixth with a ground-rule double to left. With two outs, designated hitter Victor Martinez recorded an RBI single to center, scoring Davis and narrowing the gap to 2-1.

In Cleveland, Jerry Sands had a pinch-hit grand slam and Abraham Almonte, called up from the minors before the game, was 4-for-5 with a two-run homer.

Red Sox relievers Robbie Ross Jr., Junichi Tazawa and Jean Machi closed things out with a combined three ideal innings.

Uehara (wrist) will be placed on the disabled list Monday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports. “Pitch counts? I stopped pitching when the game ended”, he said…. He underwent an ultrasound exam August. 4 that revealed he was progressing well, though he was only cleared for light baseball activities, including batting practice. “I would expect them to be ready Tuesday in Miami”.
