BOSTON -- Darnell McDonald hasnt had much luck with his health or his hitting this season. The Red Sox left-fielder was feeling fine Tuesday night when he ended the game by throwing out Edwin Encarnacion at the plate on a disputed call as Boston held on for a 3-2 win over the Toronto Blue Jays. Jason Varitek caught the ball then hurried off the field after umpire Brian Knights out call. "The play was Jason blocking the plate there and getting the tag down," McDonald said. "He did a great job." Toronto manager John Farrell didnt think so. "We should still be playing," Farrell said after seeing the replay. "That play is right in front of Brian Knight. It was clear that Edwin did a good job sliding around the plant leg of Tek. His swipe tag missed him by no less than a foot." For McDonald, it was a rare highlight in a rough season. He was on the disabled list from May 26 to June 14 with a strained left quadriceps and is just 8-for-64 in 35 games. Hes filled in recently in left field while Carl Crawford spends time on the disabled list with a strained hamstring. "Its been very tough," McDonald said. "I want to do things to help the team. Obviously, I havent been effective at the plate. Its a long season. ... When youre not hitting, defence has to be on point." Brett Cecil (1-4) went all the way for Toronto, giving up two runs in the second on an RBI double by Varitek and a run-scoring single by J.D. Drew and one in the third on Dustin Pedroias eighth homer of the year. Toronto had just two hits through eight innings before Corey Patterson led off the ninth with a single off Jonathan Papelbon and Jose Bautista followed with his major league-leading 28th homer. A single by Encarnacion and a walk to J.P. Arencibia put runners at first and second with two outs. John McDonald then looped a single that Darnell McDonald charged and, on the run, fired the ball on the fly to Varitek, who blocked the plate with his left leg. Knight looked closely, then raised his right hand for the out sign. "Tek deserves a save," Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. "Hes as good at that (as) anybody in the game. Thats a good baseball play. He stuck that stump in there and didnt let him get to the plate. Mac made a great throw. It certainly wasnt the way we drew it up, but its a heck of a way to end the game." Did John McDonald see the replay? "Does it make a difference?" he said. "Were sitting in here right now getting ready for Wednesdays series finale." Papelbon got his 18th save in 19 chances while Matt Albers (3-3) picked up the win. Boston starter Jon Lester allowed no hits in four innings before leaving with a strained muscle on the left side of his back. Francona said it had been bothering Lester the entire inning and further examination would be done on Wednesday. Albers worked two scoreless innings and gave up Torontos first hit, a two-out single by Bautista in the sixth. Franklin Morales and Daniel Bard each pitched a scoreless inning before Papelbon got into -- and out of -- a jam. "To not give up today, get a few runs, get a few more guys on base against an excellent closer says a lot about our club," John McDonald said. The Red Sox ended a three-game home losing streak and won for the fifth time in its last six games overall. They went up 2-0 in the second when David Ortiz led off with a double, took third on a groundout and scored on Variteks double. Drew then hit a hard shot into the hole between first and second that went off the foot of second baseman Mike McCoy for a single. Cecil set down the first two batters in the third. Then Pedroia, batting fourth while Kevin Youkilis sat out with a bruised back muscle, drove a 1-2 pitch over the left-field wall for his eighth homer. The five-foot-eight Pedroia hit fourth for only the second time this season and homered in each game. He first did it last Thursday when he went 1-for-5 in a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. In his six career games batting cleanup, he is 13 for 26 with four homers. "I see the Red Sox have been signing a whole bunch of little guys because they think they might find another Pedroia," Ortiz joked. "I doubt it. You dont see that every day, man. Hes special." Lester started the game by striking out Rajai Davis, then got Patterson on a groundout before striking out Bautista. He added two strikeouts in the second against Encarnacion and Travis Snider. Lester then walked Arencibia to start the third but set down the next three batters. He pitched a perfect fourth, ending the inning -- and his night -- by throwing a called third strike by Adam Lind. NOTES: Bard has pitched 16 1-3 consecutive scoreless innings. ... Bautista has reached base in 74 of his 79 games. ... Boston sent OF Mike Cameron and cash to the Florida Marlins for a player to be named or cash. ... Torontos season-high streak of homers reached 13 straight games. ... Crawford could return before the all-star break that begins Monday but probably wouldnt play just Sunday, according Francona. ... Boston RHP Clay Buchholz planned to fly Wednesday to North Carolina for a second opinion on a lower back strain that put him on the disabled list.

Nike Roshe Run Flyknit Dames .S. captain Tom Watson went with experience and a gut feeling Tuesday night when he filled out his Ryder Cup team with Keegan Bradley, Hunter Mahan and Webb Simpson.INDIANAPOLIS -- This time, Jordan Morgan got the ball to bounce the right way -- and Michigan celebrated. A little more than one year after missing a last-second tip-in that would have given the Wolverines a share of the Big Ten regular-season title, the 6-foot-8 forward scored on a layup with 7.9 seconds left to give No. 8 Michigan a 64-63 victory over Illinois in Fridays Big Ten tournament quarterfinals and a shot at another league championship. "Im telling you -- I probably exaggerate -- 10,000 times, at least 2,000 times in five years Jordan Morgan has run that same drill," coach John Beilein said. "Theres a bag to hit him, you still got to catch it in a crowd and keep it up and dunk it if he can. He said he wanted to add a little drama to the game, so he decided to put it up on the rim. Illinois had a chance to win it when Tracy Abrams drove in for a layup, expecting contact, but the ball hit the front of the rim and bounced off. No foul was called. Its about time something went right for the Wolverines (24-7) in this tournament. Since going 3-0 to win the first title in 1998, Michigan has not won more than one game in the annual tourney. The Wolverines later vacated that tourney title because of NCAA infractions, and Michigan has endured everything from an embarrassing 21-turnover game in a 2006 first-round loss to Evan Turners buzzer-beating 40-foot heave, which gave rival Ohio State a 69-68 quarterfinal win in 2010. Things are supposed to be different this year. After ending a 28-year drought between outright regular-season titles with a win at Illinois last week, Michigan came into this weekend with the No. 1 tourney seed for the first time in school history and with a full head of steam -- six straight wins. But it almost happened again. Michigan blew a 13-point second-half lead, scored just six points in the final 7 1/2 minutes and then wound up getting bailed out by Morgan when Big Ten player of the year changed the play coach John Beilein called in the huddle. "I was looking to be aggressive and raised up to shoot and man, the guy guarding me was still chasing me and the big was chasing me too and J-Mo rolled down the lane and he was wide open," Stauskas said. "I hit him with the ball and he laid it in." The Wolverines usual trio led tthe way.dddddddddddd Stauskas had 19 points despite going 4 of 12 from the field and 2 of 10 on 3-pointers against Illinois zone defence, Glenn Robinson III had 15 points and seven rebounds and Caris LeVert finished with 13 points, five rebounds and four assists. Yet it was Morgan, who wound up the star. He made the only two shots he took -- none bigger than the layup he never expected that sent Michigan into Saturdays semifinals against either fourth-seeded Nebraska or fifth-seeded Ohio State, who played in the second quarterfinal of the day. Michigan swept Nebraska this season and won at Ohio State in this seasons only meeting with the Buckeyes. Morgan, who missed the shot that gave Indiana last years outright regular season title, made this one. "As far as catching it, I just put it on the rim and got a nice roll," he said matter-of-factly. Ninth-seeded Illinois (19-14) was on the cusp of pulling off a major upset after finally retaking a 59-58 lead on Rices driving layup with 4:53 left. The Illini allowed just one 3-pointer, one free throw but couldnt stop Morgans layup the rest of the way. Abrams and Rayvonte Rice each finished with 11 points. Kendrick Nunn had 10 points as the Illini lost for only the second time in seven games. "Its obviously an uncontested shot that I probably could make," Abrams said. "We obviously wanted to get that one in and we wanted to win, but there was a lot of other plays that we can account back to that we could have did different or could have got an extra rebound." Illinois zone defence changed game. Following a media timeout with 11:26 left, Stauskas made two free throws to give the Wolverines a 55-44 lead. The Illini answered with 10 straight points and finally took the lead on Rices driving layup with 4:53 left. Michigan tied the score at 61 with 3:10 to go, but all the Wolverines could muster the rest of the way was one free throw from Stauskas until the surprised Morgan got the right roll. "Well, were thrilled to get that win because as you can see, as Illinois has shown in their last six games, how well the program has played after a tough January," Beilein said. "They proved how good they were, and, fortunately, we got some good bounces around the basket to finish the game."
