Ortiz to appeal scoring callARLINGTON, Texas — Under major league rules, David Ortiz can appeal the scoring decision made in the seventh inning of Friday’s game via his agent. The Red Sox designated hitter said Saturday that was in the works and that Fernando Cuza would submit the necessary paperwork.Ortiz hit a pop-up that fell between two fielders and was ruled an error by official scorer Steve Weller. Right fielder Alex Rios was charged with an error on the play.Such plays are routinely called hits. But with Texas starter Yu Darvish carrying a perfect game at the time, Weller went against convention. He said later the call was based on his belief that Rios called for the ball. Rios said he did not.Ortiz later broke up the no-hitter with a single with two outs in the ninth inning and said afterward he believed the call in the seventh should be changed.“I wouldn’t mind, to be honest, if the guy threw a no-hitter,” Ortiz said. “I would have been OK with it. Now I’m getting greedy.”Ortiz laughed when he said that. But now he is seeking action from MLB.Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 5/10/2014 11:02:10 PM -

The Sox have not won a season series against the Rangers or had a winning record in Texas since 2008. The Sox were 8-1 against the Rangers that season, 2-1 in Texas.They meet again: Lackey is facing Texas for the 40th time in his career, the most he has faced any team. He is 13-15 with a 5.81 ERA. He is pitching at Globe Life Park for the 20th time in his career, the most he has pitched at any park outside of Angel Stadium and Fenway Park. Lackey is 7-7, 6.61 at Globe Life. Lackey beat the Rangers on April 7, allowing one unearned run over seven innings. In his last three starts this season he is 2-1 with a 2.05 ERA, giving up five earned runs on 18 hits over 22 innings with four walks and 20 strikeouts.Trying again: The Sox have not been over .500 since they were 2-1 on April 2. They start the day three games out first place and in third place in the AL East. The Sox have won three of four and five of their last seven games.Other notes: Ray faced the Red Sox on April 9 at Fenway Park. He allowed only one unearned run on two hits over 5.1 innings but walked six and threw 98 pitches. This will be his second career start against the Sox. He has faced them six times in all, allowing one earned run on seven hits over 8.2 innings. … The first two games of the series have drawn 93,356 fans and today’s game could be a sellout. … The Sox are 11 of 22 on stolen bases, the worst percentage in the majors. … Napoli has reached base safely in 30 consecutive games. … Texas has lost four of six.Song of the Day: “Get Over It” by The Eagles.Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 5/12/2014 7:15:30 AM

Red Sox flip Peavy and Doubront in preparation for DetroitMINNEAPOLIS — For the first time this season, the Red Sox have changed the order in their rotation. Jake Peavy was moved up into the third spot and started on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Twins. Felix Doubront was dropped back and will start on Wednesday night.Manager John Farrell said the Sox preferred getting another righthander, Peavy, against the Detroit Tigers at Fenway Park this weekend.The Tigers, who are stocked with righthanded hitters, are hitting .274 with a .737 OPS against righthanded pitchers. Against lefthanded pitchers, they are hitting .293 with an .809 OPS.“We had the off-days to work with and we just wanted another righthander lined up against Detroit when we get off this road trip,” Farrell said Tuesday.“Given the way their lineup stacks up, what they’ve done against lefthanded starting pitching and, more than anything, the flexibility the schedule gives us a chance to match up a little bit better."Peavy faced the Tigers once in the regular season in 2013, allowing four runs on four hits over seven innings on July 25. That was final start for the White Sox before he was traded to the Red Sox.Peavy also started Game 4 of the American League Championship Series against the Tigers and lasted only three innings, giving up seven runs on five hits and three walks over three innings.Doubront faced the Tigers once last season and allowed three runs (two earned) over five innings on June 23. Doubront was not in the postseason rotation but pitched twice in relief against Detroit in the ALCS and threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings, giving up one hit.The Red Sox have Jon Lester, John Lackey and Peavy lined up for the Tigers. Detroit is expected to pitch Max Scherzer, Rick Porcello and Anibal Sanchez.The matchup between Lester (4-4, 2.75 earned run average) and Scherzer (5-1, 2.04) features the two pitchers tied for the most strikeouts in the American League with 66. Both also are pending free agents.Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 5/14/2014 1:01:26 AM

Pre-game notes: Farrell selects Francona and Gardenhire for All-Star gameMINNEAPOLIS — John Farrell and his coaching staff will be back at Target Field in July for the All-Star Game. He let slip that he asked Twins manager Ron Gardenhire and Indians manager Terry Francona to join his staff for the game.Francona is one of Farrell’s best friends in the game. Farrell was Francona’s pitching coach from 2007-11 when both were with the Red Sox.Gardenhire, as the manager in the host city, was an obvious choice.“Out of respect to him and the city, and the organization, I think it’s a natural fit,” Farrell said.Also:* Rookie shortstop Xander Bogaerts came into the game 4 of 32 (.125) with runners in scoring position and 8 of 49 (.163) with men on base. With the bases empty, he was 23 of 74 (.311). “There’s been times where he’s maybe put some added pressure on himself, particularly when men have been base, where he’s been not as patient in taking the same trusting approach as when he’s at the plate with the bases empty,” Farrell said. “We’ve talked about it before with young guys, continuing to provide opportunities so that they learn and grow through them. I think that’s where we are with Xander.”* The Red Sox were off Monday and the players were scattered. John Lackey, who beat the Rangers in Texas on Monday, stayed in the Dallas area to spend time with family and friends. Jake Peavy hosted Mike Carp, Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli, David Ross and Shane Victorino at Southern Falls, the plantation Peavy owns in Semmes, Ala. Jackie Bradley Jr., Dustin Pedroia, and Will Middlebrooks went to the Mall of America. They played arcade games and rode the roller coaster.* Will Middlebrooks, who missed Sunday’s game at Texas with a sore right hand, was back in the lineup.* Backup catcher David Ross rolled an ankle during batting practice but was available if needed.* The Red Sox are waiting to hear from Major League Baseball on the appeal of the scoring decision in Texas on Friday night that that denied David Ortiz a hit in the seventh inning.* WEEI’s Joe Castiglione missed his second game attending to a family matter. He is expected to rejoin the team on Friday in Boston. Dave O’Brien was joined by Ron Bradford of WEEI.com.* It was 51 degrees at first pitch, 31 degrees less than Sunday’s game at Texas.Pete Abraham, Boston Globe... 5/14/2014 1:04:32 AM
