NEW YORK -- Slumping outfielder Jay Bruce is out of the New York Mets starting lineup for the second straight game. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Michael-Johnson-Jersey/ .Acquired by the Mets from Cincinnati at the Aug. 1 trade deadline, Bruce is hitting .181 with four homers and 11 RBI in 38 games with New York.We just told Jay yesterday, look, were going to get you out of here. Just back off for a couple of days, catch your break and get back in there, manager Terry Collins said before Monday nights game against Atlanta.Collins compared the respite to his late-July decision to give a few days off to second baseman Neil Walker, who was in a 9-for-58 (.155) slide. Walker rebounded to hit .426 (40 for 94) over the next month before a back injury that required season-ending surgery.Collins also said left-hander Steven Matz, who has not pitched since Aug. 14 because of shoulder tightness, may throw a Wednesday bullpen session in New York rather than at the teams spring training complex in Port St. Lucie, Florida.Matz could rejoin the rotation for Sundays game against Philadelphia, the Mets home finale. He would be limited to 40-50 pitches.Hes not ready to go real far, so we need to make sure were not just taking a short in the dark here and starting a guy that we can get only get two innings out of, Collins said.Matz would follow Noah Syndergaard, who is lined up to pitch Saturday and Sept. 30 at Philadelphia, which would line him up to start the NL wild-card game on Oct. 5 with normal four days rest. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Andrew-Billings-Jersey/ .S District Court against Major League Baseball, the Office of the Commissioner and his own union, the MLBPA. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Brandon-Lafell-Jersey/ .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Jeremy-Hill-Jersey/ . - NASCAR announced a 33-race schedule for the 2014 Nationwide Series with virtually no changes from this years slate. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The Boston Red Sox are 16-15 in one-run games this season, but John Farrell wants to see more like the 2-1 victory his team pulled out over the Rays on Tuesday.When you have to execute from the mound and defensively, late in games, with minimal margin for error, I think these are very good tests for us as we get this portion of the schedule, particularly on the road, Farrell said. To come through as we have defensively, thats the key.Boston (71-54) has won 10 of 12 -- including three one-run wins -- and will hope to continue that momentum in the third game of a four-games series at the Rays on Wednesday. The pitching matchup suggests it might not end up that close after all.The Red Sox will start RHP Rick Porcello (17-3, 3.22 ERA), who is not only tied for the major league lead with 17 wins, but is coming in hotter than that. Boston has won 11 of his last 12 starts, and in his last five hes 4-1 with a 2.08 ERA with 29 strikeouts and only four walks.Whats more, hes owned the Rays this season, going 3-0 with a 2.25 ERA in three starts against Tampa Bay, striking out 22 and walking four.Thats a stark contrast to Rays starter Matt Andriese, who has struggled since rejoining the Tampa Bay rotation after the trade deadline. The Rays have lost all four game hes started, and hes seen his ERA swell from 2.75 to 3.66 during that span.Andriese opened the season 6-0 and pitched well when he was shifted to the bullpen, but hasnt regained his oold form as a starter. http://www.bengalsrookiestore.com/Bengals-Cedric-Peerman-Jersey/. Hes stretched himself out to 96 pitches in his last outing but that hasnt translated to more than 5 1/3 innings in any of his starts.The silver lining is that hes pitched well against Boston. He hasnt allowed a run in 9 2/3 innings covering three appearances, including a six-inning gem last year in his only start against the Red Sox in which he allowed one baserunner in a victory.The Rays are 30-5 this season when holding opponents to two runs or fewer after Tuesdays setback, with starter Chris Archer lamenting that every nights not going to be a flawless outing after earning his major league leading 17th loss of the season.The margin for error in a one-run game is so little, as Kevin Kiermaier learned when he was thrown out at third trying to make a double a triple with one out n the eighth inning. Instead of the tying run in scoring position, he was out and the Rays wouldnt get closer than first base the rest of the night.Just kind of in shock over there at third base, how I got thrown out, Kiermaier said of Mookie Betts assist from deep right field. I watched the video after the game, and saw he made an absolutely perfect throw. I always want to put pressure on defense, and its going to take a perfect throw to throw me out. I would not change anything. Id do it again. I tip my hat to him.
