Wednesday after completing a three-game road trip. ...

The Boston Red Sox will try to post their first winning streak in nearly two weeks on Tuesday evening as they play the middle contest of a three-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays. In a battle of slumping teams, the Red Sox managed a 4-3 victory in 10 innings after blowing a late lead. The victory halted Bostons eight-game losing streak and was its first in the past seven meetings with Toronto. The Blue Jays still lead the season series 10-4. After blowing a ninth-inning lead, the Red Sox plated the go-ahead run in the ninth when Brock Holt reached on an infield single, stole second and then scored on Yoenis Cespedes single up the middle. Thanks to a solo homer by Mookie Betts and a two-run shot by Dustin Pedroia in the fifth inning, the Red Sox and starter Clay Buchholz were rolling towards a shutout before trouble in the ninth. Buchholz yielded back-to-back singles and a walk to load the bases with one out, prompting manager John Farrell to bring in Koji Uehara. Bostons closer got Adam Lind to hit into a fielders choice that plated a run, but Edwin Encarnacion followed with a double off the top of the wall that chased home the tying runs. Despite the rally, Toronto lost for the fifth time in seven games and has fallen 5 1/2 games back of a wild card spot in the American League. "We needed another foot or two on Eddies ball, but then couldnt shut them down," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "Its disappointing." Buchholz surrendered three runs on four hits and two walks over 8 1/3 innings, helping put Boston in position to now win consecutive games for the first time since a four-game win streak from Aug. 10-14. "Clay was outstanding ... Unfortunately we give up the three inherited runs," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. It is unknown if Boston will have slugger David Ortiz in the lineup. He is day-to-day with a bruised right foot suffered on Sunday and did not appear in the opener. The Red Sox will try to secure the series win tonight behind Rubby De La Rosa, who pitched decent in a 2-0 setback to the Los Angeles Angels last time out. He gave up both runs on eight hits and three walks over 6 2/3 innings, striking out eight. The right-hander has lost three of his last four decisions, falling to 4-5 with a 3.69 earned run average on the year. De La Rosa has lost a pair of starts versus the Blue Jays this season, including a setback in Toronto on July 24 when he was blitzed for six earned runs over four innings. Toronto counters with R.A. Dickey, who is 5-3 with a 4.57 ERA in his career versus Boston, spanning 14 games with eight starts. He beat the Red Sox in consecutive outings on July 23 and 28, giving up a total of five runs while striking out 15 over 13 innings. The 39-year-old righty won for the first time in four starts on Wednesday in Milwaukee despite allowing five runs over 5 2/3 innings of a 9-5 decision. He had given up four runs over 12 innings in his previous two outings, but nonetheless improved to 10-12 with a 4.08 ERA on the year.

The Pacers announced Friday night that George has been cleared "to return to normal basketball activity," a decision made three days after he was concussed in Game 2 of the Indiana-Miami series. INDIANAPOLIS -- The Pacers are making old-school basketball trendy, winning with defence, balanced scoring and strong second halves. On Tuesday, they did it again. Roy Hibbert scored 22 points and Lance Stephenson fell just short of his fourth triple double this season, helping the Pacers hold off Torontos late charge for an 86-79 victory that allowed them to keep the NBAs best record. "We didnt let them get physical with us," Stephenson said, referring to the stark contrast to Indianas loss last week north of the border. "That was a point of emphasis." The Pacers (28-6) have won three straight since that loss at Toronto and have a two-game lead over two-time defending champion Miami in the Eastern Conference. This was no typical night in Indiana. Some Pacers fans stayed home because of the poor road conditions in and around the city, and both teams started sluggishly -- perhaps a result of their own weather-related travel delays. Because of the snowstorm that swept through the Midwest on Sunday and the frigid temperatures that delivered a second big blow to Indianapolis on Monday and Tuesday, the Raptors (16-17) were forced to stay in Miami two days longer than planned and didnt arrive in town until about five hours before tip-off. Things didnt go much smoother for the Pacers, who endured a seemingly endless round of delays as they tried to return home following Sunday nights game at Cleveland. So when All-Star Paul George picked up his second foul less than five minutes into the game, the Pacers knew they would have to revert to their traditional style. "Our guys buckled down and had a great defensive performance," coach Frank Vogel said. Hibbert led the charge. He helped the Pacers dominate the middle with a 53-36 rebounding edge and a 40-26 scoring advantage in the paint. The 7-foot-2 centre was 5 of 12 from the field and 12 of 13 from the free throw line with eight rebounds and three blocks. Stephenson, the league leader with three triple doubles, did his thing, too. He finished with 13 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists. Danny Granger, the former All-Star who is working his way back into game shape, came off the bench to match his season high with 13 poinnts, and George Hill and Paul George each added 11 for Indiana.dddddddddddd And defensively, the Pacers were stifling. They held the Raptors (16-17) to a season-low point total by limiting them to just 37.0 per cent shooting from the field -- their third-worst performance of the season. Coach Dwane Casey didnt blame the poor shooting effort on the abrupt change of plans but rather his teams inability to effectively counterpunch against the Pacers inside. "Shooters legs, sea legs, whatever you want to call it, it was there," Casey said. "We can have all the excuses, but again, in a game like this, youve got to man up and bring it." DeMar DeRozan led Toronto with 28 points, while Patrick Patterson added 20 and Kyle Lowry had 16. Nobody else reached double figures for the Raptors, who have played their best basketball of the season over the last month though theyve lost back-to-back road games -- at Miami and Indiana -- following a four-game winning streak. Toronto fought hard most of the night, jumping to an 11-4 lead and cutting an eight-point second quarter deficit to 32-31 with a 7-0 spurt. But the Pacers seized control by closing out the first half on a 12-5 run that made it 44-36, then used an 8-0 third-quarter run to break it open. Indiana led 71-54 in the final minute of the quarter before Toronto made one last rally. The Raptors closed to 77-70 on Lowrys layup with 4:14 to go, made it 81-75 when Patterson hit a 3 with 2:51 to play and got it to six two more times. Twice, they had chances to get even closer, but they missed 3s both times in the final minute and the Pacers held on. "We remembered these guys from a couple of games ago. We let that one get away," said David West, who finished with 12 rebounds and four points. "Tonight we made a point of protecting our home court."
