to move up and down
WATCH: Boston Marathon bombing victim Jeff Bauman threw the first pitch at the Red Sox game on Tuesday night. He was being honoured at Fenway Park along with his rescuer, Carlos Arredondo on Tuesday night.
Bauman, who lost both legs in the blast, threw out a ceremonial first pitch to catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia before the Red Sox game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Arredondo pushed him out to the mound in a wheelchair and threw out a first pitch to Red Sox slugger David Ortiz. (Photos: Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)

Jays slide past the Rays: The Toronto Blue Jays’ Brett Lawrie slides safely into third after hitting an RBI triple off Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Jake Odorizzi. The Blue Jays came away with a 7-5 win over the Rays thanks to a strong start from R.A. Dickey and a clutch double from Edwin Encarnacion on Monday afternoon. (Photo: Chris Young/The Canadian Press)

“I would rather him not go all-out into the wall.”
— Nationals third baseman Ryan Zimmerman on Bryce Harper’s tenacity that often gets him into trouble. Harper violently collided with the outfield wall at Dodger Stadium on Monday night. He didn’t end up with a concussion, but received 11 stitches.
This is not the first time Harper has done battle with that particular wall. In only his second career game last year, hurt his back trying to make a catch after hitting the fence. (Photos: Stephen Dunn/Getty Images)
The smart money said Chad Jenkins would be a one–and-done starter for the Toronto Blue Jays. Of course, the smart money was not so smart about Ramon Ortiz either.
Jenkins might still wind up back in the minors after his emergency start for the Toronto Blue Jays, but he certainly gave management something to think about the next time they need a starter.
In an 12-4 win over the Red Sox, Jenkins worked into the sixth inning, allowed two runs and earned his second big-league victory.
In five of his seven previous starts, Mark Buehrle had struggled, falling behind hitters and giving up a bundle of homers. The Boston Red Sox had knocked him around at the Rogers Centre the previous time he faced them.
Blue Jays hoping Brandon Morrow can get healthy fast
Then he walked into Fenway Park and was transformed.
The Toronto Blue Jays left-hander stumped the Red Sox on five hits over seven innings and left with a 2-0 lead in the eighth. Boston tied it up, but Adam Lind (pictured, left) whacked a long homer in the ninth and the Blue Jays hung on to win 3-2.
“It’s awesome,” Lind said. (Photo: Jared Wickerham/Getty Images)
J.A. Happ listed in good condition after getting hit with line drive
In the quiet under the dome, fans and players alike sat with their hands cupped over their faces, staring in stunned silence as they watched a crew of medics kneeling over the Toronto Blue Jays pitcher lying in the dirt.
J.A. Happ had just been hit on the left side of the head by a line drive. There was blood on his hand when he lifted it from the spot where the ball struck him.
It happened in a flash. Tampa Bay’s Desmond Jennings hit the ball. The ball hit Happ so hard that it caromed deep into foul territory along the right-field line.
Happ was listed in “good condition” Wednesday morning at Bayfront Medical Center in St. Petersburg, a hospital spokesperson said. In a statement, the Blue Jays said he was expected to be released from hospital later on Wednesday after more tests. He suffered a a head contusion and a cut on his left ear, the statement said.
