(Sports Network) – Carlos Villanueva takes the ball today as the Toronto Blue
Jays continue their weekend series with Clay Buchholz and the Boston Red Sox. Torrey Smith Youth Jersey . Villaneuva, who
is 1-5 over his last eight starts, matched up against Buchholz on Sept. 9 at
Fenway Park and pitched six innings in a no-decision. Hes 2-1 in eight games (3
starts) against Boston. Buchholz, who has struggled to an 0-3 mark over his last
four starts, is 8-4 in 14 games (13 starts) versus the Blue Jays. That includes
coming within one out of a complete game on Sept. 9 in a 4-3 loss. Boston has
won eight of his last 11 starts against Toronto. He also has a 6-2 mark with a
1.72 ERA in eight games at the Rogers Centre. If the Red Sox lose today theyll
clinch their first non-winning season since 1997. Ryan Lavarnway hit a three-run
home run and drove in four in Bostons 8-5 triumph last night. The Red Sox scored
three times in the final inning. Mauro Gomez added two hits, two RBI and scored
three times for the Red Sox, who won for just the third time in their last nine.
Daniel Nava also contributed a pair of hits and drove in two runs. “Thats what
we needed tonight, so Im glad I could provide it,” Lavarnway said.
Chris Carpenter (1-0) recorded the final two outs of the eighth for his first
major league win, and Andrew Bailey shut the door in the ninth for his third
save. Adam Lind and Brett Lawrie both totaled two hits and an RBI for the Jays,
losers in three of their last four since a four-game win streak. Darren Oliver
(3-3) was charged with the go-ahead run in one-plus relief innings. Blue Jays
starter Aaron Laffey allowed four hits and three runs over 3 2/3 innings. “I
lost it there for a little bit,” Laffey said. “I was just not getting the job
done.” Toronto, which has lost seven of its last nine home games overall, holds
a 10-6 lead in the season series. Tyrod Taylor Jersey . Petersburg has signed

situations.MANKATO, Minn. —The Minnesota Vikings are aiming to put Adrian
Peterson in for some exhibition game carries before they clear him for the
regular-season opener. In order to get to that point, the star running back will
have to start practicing. That could come next week. The coaching and medical
staffs will evaluate Petersons left knee after the Vikings return from San
Francisco, the site of their first preseason game Friday night. “Im looking
forward to being out here pretty soon. Ive been out for like two weeks, and its
time to get going,” said Peterson, who tore the anterior cruciate and medial
collateral ligaments last December. “I know that they understand that, and
theyve been watching and theyve been getting good feedback. So Im sure they are
pretty much as excited as I am.” Coach Leslie Frazier said Petersons pushing to
join the team for practice has been “never ending,” but Peterson said Wednesday
hes let up on his lobbying. “Everything Im hearing is extremely positive so well
see where we are,” Frazier said. The date that matters most is Sept. 9, when the
Vikings (No. 29 in the AP Pro32) play Jacksonville to start the season. Frazier
said again theres no indication Peterson wont be able to take part in that game.
“Everything hes done hes right on point, but I say that without him ever
participating in a drill with his tteammates,” Frazier said, declining to commit
to a certain number of practices Peterson will need before hes allowed to play
in the preseason. Ed Reed Elite Jersey. The Vikings dont want
his first big blow from a defender to come in a game that counts. Theyd rather
him get that out of the way in August. Peterson said he thinks that would help
him. “Im ready to get hit. It might sound strange, but just to get that feel,”
Peterson said, pointing to his patellar tendon area in particular. That still
“feels funny” as part of the recovery from the injury. So whenever he returns to
the backfield, hell continue to apply his “dont waste today” mindset toward the
rehabilitation work, knowing it will all pay off once hes able to start taking
those handoffsl again. “Anytime they give me the ball, Ill be ready to tote the
load,” Peterson said. Peterson also said he wont have to return to Houston for
court, where he has a resisting arrest charge against him from a closing-time
incident at a nightclub there last month. Hearings are scheduled for Sept. 27
and Nov. 15, but his attorney will represent him. “I feel like were in a good
position right now. The most important thing is no more interruptions. So it
wont interfere with whats going on with the Minnesota Vikings, my team, so well
just see how things play out,” Peterson said. ’ ’ ’
