Buchholz, Red Sox Move On Without Ellsbury, Beat Rays Again
For a while, it seemed like “here we go again” with Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz on Saturday against the Rays. The righty was awful in his first outing of the season (4 IP, 7 ER), and was off to a rough start in the early going Saturday after allowing four runs, including a three-run [...]
