BOSTON -- Rick Porcellos unbeaten home season ended because of a hanging second-inning slider. Justin Upton Jersey .Mark Trumbo hit his major league-leading 42nd home run, Kevin Gausman narrowly outpitched Porcello over eight innings and the Baltimore Orioles pulled within a game of AL East-leading Boston with a 1-0 win over the Red Sox.Baltimore took two of three in the series, but as disappointed as he was, Porcello took solace in Bostons AL East lead.We lost and its a big game. Theres no satisfaction in that, Porcello said. This was big game for us. We were hoping to take the series from them, but that being said, weve still got a one-game lead and we get them for four at their place.The Orioles are headed back home and will host the Red Sox next week for four games that could push one team ahead to stay. Then again, the AL East looks like a four-horse race heading into the final weeks.Baltimore moved one game ahead of slumping Toronto for the top AL wild card after the Blue Jays lost at home to Tampa Bay 8-1 earlier Wednesday. And then there are the Yankees, hanging around four games back of Boston. New York begins a four-game series at Fenway Park on Thursday night.A lot of big baseball to be played and were still in a good position, Porcello said. Its going to be a lot of fun. This is what you train for. This is what you play for -- to play meaningful baseball in September and hopefully into October.Gausman (8-10) and Porcello (20-4) had nearly identical line scores over eight innings, each striking out six and allowing just four hits, except Porcello allowed Trumbos leadoff shot in the second inning.Porcello was 13-0 in home starts with one no decision entering the game.We have to score something to help him out, said right fielder Mookie Betts, one of just four Boston players to get a hit. If we score one or two we can get a win but we didnt do that today. He did his job.GREAT GOUSMANThis was Gausmans fourth scoreless outing in his past five starts and matched the longest start of his career. He threw 120 pitches and lowered his ERA to 3.43.He was just throwing all his pitches for strikes and keeping us off balance, Betts said.OUCHBoston had a scare later in the second when J.J. Hardy hit a hard grounder up the middle and the ball bounced off Porcellos calf to third baseman Travis Shaw. Hardy ran out the single while Porcello limped around the mound. The game was delayed briefly to allow Porcello a few warm-ups before continuing.It got me in a good spot. If it got me in the shin it might have been a little bit tougher, Porcello said.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Steven Wright (right shoulder strain) is expected to start throwing next week in Fort Myers, Florida. Manager John Farrell said the knuckleballer will need to gradually regain some arm strength and his return during the regular season is uncertain. I dont want to rule it out, but at this point its going to become a little bit more challenging with each passing day, Farrell said.UP NEXTRed Sox: LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (2-7, 4.70) gets the start Thursday as Boston opens a four-game series against the New York Yankees. RHP Masahiro Tanaka (13-4, 3.04) is up in the visiting Yankees rotation. Nolan Ryan Jersey .

Martin Maldonado Jersey . The scientists believe the small earthquake during a Marshawn Lynch touchdown was likely greater than Lynchs famous "beast quake" touchdown run three years ago, which also came against New Orleans during a playoff game. http://www.wholesaleangelsjerseys.com/darin-erstad-jersey/ . LOUIS -- Theres no telling how these wacky World Series games will end. Adrian Peterson, who underwent surgery to repair a right lateral meniscus tear on Sept. 22, is making solid progress in his recovery and could be back on the field for the Minnesota Vikings by mid-to-late December, according to league sources.Peterson had an exam late last week and could start running this week. Although the three-time rushing champion is said to be exercising caution in his return from the knee injury he sustained on Sept. 18 against the Green Bay Packers, he could make his return before the end of the regular season.If Peterson stays on track, two possibilities for his return could be a home game against the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 18 or the Vikings rematch against the Packers at Lambeau Field on Dec. 24 -- five years to the day since Peterson tore his left ACL against the Washington Redskins. The running back returned from that injury in less than nine months, winning NFL MVP honors with a 2,097-yard season and establishing his reputation as a quick healer.The Vikings waived Ronnie Hillman on Monday, adding defensive end Stephen Weatherly to their active roster. The move left them with just Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiiata at running back, but an eventual Peterson return would change the dynamics of the Vikings offense. Cheap Stitched Angels Jerseys. Hes a workaholic, cornerback Captain Munnerlyn said Monday. I definitely wouldnt put anything past this guy. Hes a fast healer. His makeup is definitely a fighter. Well see. I think [hell be back], but at the same time, you never know. Thats a tough injury to come back from. Hes got to think about his career, but hes a guy that wants to come out there and help the team win. One thing is on his mind: He wants to win that Super Bowl. So he feels like if he can come back and definitely contribute to us winning, he definitely will do it.Super Bowl LI will be played on Feb. 5 in Petersons adopted hometown of Houston. Before working out at his gym in Houston in June, Peterson told ESPN, When they brought it out like, Hey, this one will be in Houston -- in 2017 -- I was like, OK. Last year I was like, OK, wasnt meant to happen. God, he wants me to come back home to accomplish that. So thats been my mindset.
