  • BoSox go with Lester, Beckett, Buchholz (AP)

    Boston Red Sox's David Ortiz(notes), right, tries to check his swing in front of Cleveland Indians'  Wyatt Toregas(notes) but is called out on strikes in the eighth inning of a baseball game, Sunday, Oct. 4, 2009, in Boston. Ortiz  finished the season with 28 homers and 99 RBIs. The Red Sox won 12-7.

    Clay Buchholz has one week to think about his next start. Or, even better, not to think about it. Manager Terry Francona said Buchholz was still in line to follow Jon Lester and Josh Beckett in the rotation for the first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Angels, even after the Red Sox right-hander lasted just three innings in a 12-7 victory over Cleveland on Sunday.

    Clay Buchholz pitched six effective innings, Jason Bay drove in two runs and the Boston Red Sox hurt Tampa Bay's playoff hopes with a 6-3 win over the Rays on Thursday night. The Red Sox took 2 of 3 from the Rays — Boston's first series win at Tropicana Field since Sept. 21-23, 2007 — to extend their AL wild-card advantage over Tampa Bay to six games.
