SAN DIEGO -- As the innings mount, Paul Clemens fastball diminishes.That problem arose again Tuesday when the Boston Red Sox beat Clemens and the San Diego Padres.He has a precipitous drop off in velocity, Padres manager Andy Green said. Hes at 94-95 (mph) in the first three innings then its 86-91 in the fourth and fifth.While the Padres scuffled the Red Sox were clicking. Jackie Bradley Jr. and Chris Young homered and Clay Buchholz pitched 6-plus solid innings.Buchholz (6-10) was making his first start since Aug. 23 as his last three appearances came out of the bullpen. Working exclusively from the stretch, Buchholz allowed a run, eight hits and struck out six in facing the Padres for the first time.Clemens was starting against the Red Sox for the first time as well. And at first, he looked good. Then the batters got another look at him and Clemens turned passive.Ive just got to be more aggressive, he said. I feel like Im right there, about to turn the corner and get into the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. But then I have a hiccup.Green said its imperative Clemens finds the answer to his declining velocity.If he cant, then hell be working out of the bullpen, Green said. But he has the stuff.Clemens said its more about his head than his right arm.I think its mental, he said. I just took my foot off the pedal.The Red Sox lead the majors in runs but had scored just once in their past two games, both losses. Previous to that in three straight wins, they had collected 35 runs.Neither team scored in the first three innings or in the last four. But the Red Sox notched five runs in the middle innings for their 16th win in their last 25 games.The Padres threatened in the seventh, when Oswaldo Arcia and Luis Sardinas singled. But Buchholz struck out pinch-hitter Jon Jay and Travis Jankowski before being relieved by Matt Barnes to face Wil Myers. Barnes got Myers to expand outside the zone for another strikeout to quell the rally.Joe Kelly, the third Red Sox reliever, pitched the ninth.Boston chased Clemens in the fifth when he wasnt able to record an out. Xander Bogaerts, Mookie Betts and Hanley Ramirez hit consecutive singles, with Ramirezs scoring Bogaerts. Youngs RBI grounder made it 5-1.Clemens (2-5) was charged with five runs and nine hits over four innings. He struck out three and walked three in dropping his third straight start.Ryan Schimpf snapped an 0-for-15 skid when he hit a fourth-inning homer, his 17th, to pull the Padres within 3-1.In the fourth inning, just after pitching coach Darren Balsley paid his starter a visit, Bradley smashed a two-run homer, which scored Sandy Leon who opened the inning with a bunt single. Young extended Bostons lead to 3-0 when he went back-to-back with Bradley, hitting his eighth homer and second in two games.Thats a good lineup, Clemens said. They dont miss mistakes.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Steve Wright got a second opinion on his sore right shoulder on Tuesday, which confirmed there was no structural damage and that he is suffering from bursitis. Manager John Farrell said theres no timetable for Wrights return.Padres: Activated Jay (fractured right forearm) from the 60-day DL.UP NEXT:Red Sox: LHP David Price (14-8, 3.92) caps the three-game series in San Diego. Price has a five-start winning streak and has allowed but eight runs in 35 innings over that span.Padres: RHP Jarred Cosart (0-2, 5.14) has allowed one earned run or less in four of his six Padres starts since coming over in a seven-player trade with Miami in July. wholesale nfl jerseys .35 million, one-year contract that avoided salary arbitration.

Vaives lawyer Trevor Whiffen claims the former 50-goal man wasnt provided with a copy of the claim beforehand and that he would not have agreed to the allegations made against the NHL had he been asked to review its contents. A victory wont be nearly enough to solidify a playoff spot for either the Miami Dolphins or the Arizona Cardinals, but a loss on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Fla., will make it that much more difficult for the Dolphins to sneak in through the back door and a loss by the Cardinals would essentially end their season.Miami had won six straight games to climb back into the race only to get blown out last Sunday by Baltimore 38-6, killing precious momentum that coach Adam Gase thought would propel his team into wild-card status.The first thing we had to do earlier this week was correct a lot of the mistakes that we made in that last game, Gase said. We had some uncharacteristic mistakes, at least compared to what we were doing the six previous games. It wasnt for a lack of effort.Guys were flying around trying to make plays. We probably pressed a little too hard, guys trying too hard to make plays. We have to reel it back in, get back to the details of what we were doing -- everybody doing their job -- instead of guys trying to go outside of the box and do too much.The Cardinals, 2-3-1 in their past six games, havent been able to fully rediscover themselves following a 13-3 regular-season finish a year ago when they set multiple franchise records on both offense and defense.Coach Bruce Arians, however, thinks his team may have finally turned the corner with last weeks 31-23 victory over the Washington Redskins, which saw quarterback Carson Palmer finally connect on a handful of deep passes, the defense finally shut down a team at crunch time, and Arians own no risk it, no biscuit philosophy win out.He risked it twice, electing to go for it on fourth down late in the fourth quarter -- and getting a huge 14-yard run by second-year running back David Johnson -- and then deciding to go for the jugular with a long, unexpected pass play -- Palmer hitting J.J. Nelson for a 42-yard scoring strike on second-and-10.In the end, All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson sealed the victory with an interception, his 20th since entering the league in 2011.I still think we can play a heck of a lot better, Arians said, adding later, We need one more. One more win and Id consider it a roll. We definitely need to win an away game this week.Both clubs likely will try to exploit their talented running backs -- Miami with Jay Ajayi and the Cardinals with Johnson -- and then hope Ryan Tannehill and Palmer can hit some shots downfield.Tannehill said the Dolphins and Cardinals are each fortunate to have stellar backs.Its huge. Jay has been big for us this year, Tannehill said. I think really getting the running game going was crucial to us starting the ball rolling in the right direction. I think the first big game he had -- the first couple games that we beat Pittsburgh and (the) New York (Jets) -- were huge. That kind of set the momentum, set the tone, for us offensively.Obviously, he had those huge games, but has just been consistent. He runs hard, physical, tough and gets those tough yards after contact. It has been a big help for us offensively.Palmer and veteran star wide receiver Larry Fittzgerald, meanwhile, have called Arizonas Johnson a Most Valuable Player candidate.dddddddddddd And they might be right.No one has more yards from scrimmage than Johnson, who is two touchdowns away from tying John David Crows 1962 franchise record for most touchdowns in a season (12) and is the only player besides Edgerrin James (2000 and 2005) to record at least 100 or more yards from scrimmage in his first 12 games to start a season.I think he is, if not the best, one of the best couple players at any position, Palmer said of Johnson, who scored twice against Washington. There is no doubt he should be in the MVP talks, in my biased opinion. What he does in the passing game, what he does in the run game, what he does to defensive coordinators and opposing defenses late on Monday night, Tuesday, Wednesday and through the week, trying to prepare and figure out where he is going to be and how to stop him is invaluable for us.Arizona knows that to have a chance against the Dolphins, it must try to contain Ajayi, keep Tannehill from beating them with his legs when he leaves the pocket and try to find a way to neutralize the pass rush of Miamis feared defensive line, particularly defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh.A big part of that effort will fall on the shoulders of the Cardinals new starting right tackle, Ulrick John, who was snatched off of Miamis practice squad earlier this season. John replaced D.J. Humphries, who was switched to starting left tackle in place of the injured Jared Veldheer.Were trying to develop a program to where we can promote from within instead of going to get guys on the street, Gase said. Them (the Cardinals) grabbing him, that was a tough pill for us to swallow, because theyre hard guys to find.They (young tackles) dont exist around the league. The way that injuries have been going, its hard to keep your practice squad together. They (the Cardinals) did their research on him and felt like they had a guy they could bring onto their roster that they could develop and put him in this position if they needed him.The Cardinals ruled out safety Tyrann Mathieu, who is dealing with a sore shoulder and will miss his second straight game. Miami, however, knows it must be careful should it decide to throw the ball anywhere in the direction of All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson. Tannehill said he cant treat Peterson like any other cornerback and that he must be mindful at all times with No. 21 on the field.I think you have to. Youre aware of him as a player, just like youre aware of an elite pass-rusher or an elite linebacker, he said. Youre aware of guys that can have a big impact on the game. Not necessarily that youre avoiding him throughout the whole game, but youre aware. You want to make sure that its the right matchup, its the right shot and the ball is in the right location. If you do leave one behind the receiver or throw one when you shouldnt, hes going to get it. Just an awareness of where hes at in the game is a big part of it.
