BALTIMORE -- When a pitcher walks off the mound in the middle of an at-bat in a start in which he has not yet allowed a hit, a trip to the disabled list usually follows shortly thereafter.But that might not be the case for Boston Red Sox left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez.Rodriguez was lifted from Tuesday nights game after throwing two pitches in the fifth inning against the Baltimore Orioles because of tightness in his left hamstring. By the time the game ended, though, Rodriguez had loosened up enough that theres a chance he will be able to make his next start, scheduled for Sunday in Detroit.Ive got to wait for what the trainers say, Rodriguez said after the Red Sox won 5-3 on two homers and five RBIs by American League MVP candidate Mookie Betts. Ive got to work [between starts] and see how I feel, if I feel good.As Red Sox manager John Farrell said, I think we got it early enough to where it doesnt seem to be a significant restriction at this point. But well know more as we get through the coming days.Rodriguez said he began feeling the hamstring tightness on his second-to-last pitch of the fourth inning, when he struck out Orioles sluggers Jonathan Schoop, Manny Machado and Mark Trumbo in order. The sensation didnt subside in the fifth inning.I was feeling like it was getting worse, so I didnt want to do something to something inside of there, Rodriguez said. I feel like we made the right decision before it got worse.Until then, Rodriguez was dominant, retiring 12 of 13 batters, seven by strikeout. Chris Davis was the only batter who reached base -- on a two-out walk in the second inning. The Orioles didnt get their first hit until an infield single by Steve Pearce in the seventh inning.Tuesdays effort was the continuation of a solid stretch for Rodriguez, who has a 2.52 ERA in seven starts since returning from a brief banishment to Triple-A to correct issues with his mechanics.Hes relaxed, hes free, Farrell said. He had such good life to that swing-and-miss fastball through the zone. He elevated at the appropriate times. Threw enough secondary pitches to keep guys off stride. Whitey Herzog Rangers Jersey .

Edinson Volquez Jersey . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar.

Speaking to the Chicago Tribune at baseballs Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Boras called the former home of the Expos a "tremendous environment" for baseball. The Caribbean Premier Leagues initial foray into the USA kicked off on Friday with the arrival of Jamaica Tallawahs at Central Broward Regional Park in Lauderhill, six days ahead of the first CPL games to be played in the USA. Tallawahs wicketkeeper Kumar Sangakkara, who captained Sri Lanka in the first Twenty20 International played in the USA at the same facility in 2010, has said the CPL could help the growth of cricket in USA.Its very exciting to be back, Sangakkara said at the Tallawahs first press conference in Lauderhill on Friday. I remember when we played New Zealand here in 2010, [it was] two very competitive games and I think it finished one-all and we enjoyed our time here.To bring cricket back to Fort Lauderdale, to be here at Broward Park to play again is just about making sure the game is exposed to new viewership, to encourage new spectators to come and watch what happens on a cricket field, to watch the differences between cricket and baseball and to hopefully better understand it and hopefully grow to like it enough to actually experiment playing it.The first experience for Sangakkara did not provide the fireworks that were billed to new fans, with scores under 100 in three of four innings, and a total of four sixes hit during the two games. Two years later, West Indies posted 209 for 2 against new Zealand, a record total at the time.However, it has been four years since high-level cricket has been played at the facility. In its absence, soccer has been a primary tenant, resulting in the square being dug up and relaid. New Zealand curator Mark Perham has been brought in to work on the pitches.The pitch looks pretty good and by the reports that we hear over the years theres beeen a lot of improvement done, Sangakkara said.dddddddddddd A new curator has been doing a lot of hard work trying to get it up to standard and by the scores of the subsequent matches played after we were here it seems all pretty good.We hope that the crowds do come in and the ordinary American comes in and has a look to see what its all about. It could be just a case of curiosity, or it could be that theyve heard of it before or watched it on TV once or twice maybe but crowd participation is absolutely important to any sport. Its absolutely vital. Thats what the players play for, to play in front of a packed stadium, having kids and families come and watch. Thats what I think drives us or any sport higher.Sangakkara toured the USA in November last year as part of the Cricket All-Stars series. The largest crowd of the three games featured 27,000 people at Citi Field in New York City. Although the Central Broward Regional Park has a capacity of 10,000, Sangakkara said it will be as good for the fans due to the facility being designed for cricket.Either way its got to be entertaining, Sangakkara said. Whether its 10,000 in a small stadium where it feels as if its a much larger crowd because it gets noisier and the atmosphere is a little more intense. In baseball stadiums we played in, there were a huge amount of people there but they were far removed from the action because of how the stadium is configured. Either way I think its all about getting smiles on their faces, making sure that when they walk away after three and a half hours they walk away with good memories. ' ' '
