SAN DIEGO -- After three straight appearances out of the bullpen, right-hander Clay Buchholz returns to the Boston rotation Tuesday night to face the Padres at Petco Park.Because of how hes been used, Clay might be fresher at this point of the season more than at any other time in his career, Red Sox manager John Farrell said Monday.We excited. Were inserting a guy back into the rotation who is fresh.Not that Buchholz was struggling before going to the bullpen after his Aug. 23 start at Tampa Bay, where he allowed one run on five hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings.Tampa Bay was an encouraging start, said Farrell. His velocity was 94-95.Buchholz is 5-10 on the season with a 5.20 earned run average in 32 games (16 starts). But in his last five outings (two starts, three relief appearances), the right-hander has allowed four runs on 14 hits with four walks and 13 strikeouts over 15 1/3 innings for a 2.35 ERA.And he has allowed two runs over 12 1/3 innings in his last two starts.Of course, there is a new twist to Buchholz. Hes working full time out of the stretch now.The reduction of body parts moving allows him to repeat his delivery more consistently, said Farrell. It has allowed his release point to be the same. Hes executing a high number of pitches.The rebounding Buchholz might not be the biggest question facing the Red Sox Tuesday night as they oppose Padres right-handed starter Paul Clemens, who is 1-4 with a 4.79 ERA since joining the Padres on June 28 as a waiver claim from the Florida Marlins.The Red Sox have scored one run over two straight losses after scoring 35 runs in three wins before that. When Chris Young homered as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning of a 2-1 loss to the Padres Monday afternoon at Petco Park, it snapped a run of 16 straight scoreless innings by the Red Sox -- their longest scoreless innings streak of the season.Clemens might be the perfect medicine for the Red Sox short slump.On the season, Clemens has a 4.93 ERA and has allowed 10 homers in a total of 45 2/3 innings.Opposing batters have hit .277 against Clemens since he joined the Padres. He has given up five homers in 35 2/3 innings and has allowed fewer than three earned runs in only three of his first seven starts with the Padres while pitching into the sixth inning only once. His average start as a Padre has lasted 4 1/3 innings.Last Wednesday, Clemens lasted only three innings in Atlanta, although he allowed only one earned run (two total) on four hits and two walks. He needed 82 pitches to negotiate the three innings.He has to be more efficient, said Padres manager Andy Green. Its very difficult to be successful to be a starter when you are continually working behind in the count and throwing upwards of 20 pitches an inning. That taxes not only the starter, but usually the bullpen.The Padres like Clemens stuff, particularly the breaking ball. Marcus Mariota Jersey . PAUL, Minn. A.J. Brown Womens Jersey .

MILWAUKEE -- Chip Hale liked Robbie Ray start. The Arizona manager was none too happy with his bullpen.Robbie Ray fanned a career-high 11, but Zach Davies pitched 6 1/3 effective innings, Hernan Perez hit a two-run homer, singled and scored the go-ahead run in the sixth and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Diamondbacks 6-4 on Thursday.He had stuff that was good enough to win the game, Hale said about Ray. He pitched well enough to win the game. He gave up the lead 3-2, but other than that it was one itch, the home run. He had almost no-hit type stuff today. Impressive, but again, its about winning.The 24-year-old left-hander extended the longest streak in the majors this season to 20 consecutive starts with at least five strikeouts. It was his first career start against the Brewers.Ray (5-10) retired five straight, including the side in second, but made two mistakes with two outs in the third. Scooter Gennett singled and Perez followed with a home run that tied the score at 2. Ray regrouped and retired the next eight batters before faltering with two out in the sixth.I felt great, Ray said. I was pitching in and out with my fastball. Getting ahead of guys and putting them away. My breaking stuff was really good today, too.With one out, Perez singled and Chris Carter walked. After Ray struck out Nieuwenhuis for the third time, Martin Maldonado ended Rays 21st start with an RBI single that scored Perez.If Ray could have gone further was a question he answered himself.If I didnt want to come out of the game, I should have gotten those two first guys out, Ray said. Thats just the way it is. I made a good pitch to Maldonado. He just kind of poked it out there, didnt really get a good bat on it.Hale expected the bullpen to keep it close, and that didnt happen.I took him (Ray) out after he gave up the lead and our bullpens got to be able to hold it, Hale said. (Enrique) Burgos has got to be able to get that guy out and get us in the dugout.Keon Broxton followed with a two-run double off Burgos.The Brewers added a run when Kirk Nieuwenhuis homered off Tyler Clippard leading off the eighth.If the bullpen doesnt get squared away, Hale hinted at some changes.We have got to find some guys out of our bullpen that are going to stop the bleeding, shut it down, Hale said. Its imperative. If we cant find them here, were going to have to go elsewhere and give other guys a chance.The Diamondbacks didnt go quietly, though.Michael Bourns RBBI single off Will Smith in the seventh and Rickie Weeks Jr.dddddddddddd run-scoring base hit off Tyler Thornburg in the eighth pulled the Diamondbacks to 5-4.Davies is now 3-0 with a 1.71 ERA with four walks and 17 strikeouts in four starts in July.Hes had a bunch of starts like this, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. When he gets into a groove, he runs through the lineup pretty good.Davies (8-4) allowed three runs -two earned- on six hits. Facing the Diamondbacks for the first time, he walked one and struck out five.Jeremy Jeffress pitched the ninth for his 24th save in 25 chances.Arizonas Yasmany Tomas came in hitting .375 over his last eight games and stayed hot. His two-run ground-rule double with two out in the top of the first was his fifth double over that stretch.Brewers left fielder Ryan Braun was scratched from the lineup due to right-side tightness.PERALTA COMING BACKAfter the game, the Diamondbacks optioned INF Mike Freeman to Triple-A Reno. However, no corresponding roster move was announced. Arizona is expected to activate OF David Peralta from the disabled list Friday. Hes been out since June 14 with a lower back strain.Freeman went 0-for-9 in eight games with the Diamondbacks. He struck out in the ninth inning Thursday.GOLDSCHMIDT HOTPaul Goldschmidt had two singles for Arizona, raising his batting average against Milwaukee to .432 (48-for-111) and .500 (34-for-68) at Miller Park.TOMAS SIZZLING, TOOTomas is batting .389 (14-for-36) five doubles, four home runs and 10 RBI in his last nine games.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: 3B Jake Lamb struck out as a pinch hitter in the seventh and stayed in the game at third.
