completing a three-game sweep.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Centre fielder Jackie Bradley
had as much to do with saving a victory for the Boston Red Sox on Friday night
as closer Koji Uehara did. Bradley, fighting an 0 for 27 slump, was put in for
defence in the eighth inning by manager John Farrell and made two scintillating
catches on the dead run to help preserve Allen Websters 4-2 win over the Los
Angeles Angels. "Hes such an impact defender. Weve seen it many times, and he
had an impact in this game tonight just with two innings of defence," Farrell
said. "The one thing that has never been shaken in his time here has been his
defence. Hes a confident defender, and he feels like he can roll out of bed and
run to a spot where a ball is eventually going to land. Thankfully, hes got that
instinct because it showed up twice here tonight." Bradley raced toward short
right-centre to prevent a leadoff single by Mike Trout leading off the eighth,
then sprinted to the alley in right-centre and made a leaping grab of
Howie Kendricks extra-base bid leading off the ninth. "It all happened so fast.
I was just hoping the wall didnt stop me before I was able to get to it,"
Bradley said. "On the first play, Trout had two strikes on him -- but Im not
playing in with that guy. I saw it right off the bat, so I just put my head
down. It was much easier than the one to the wall because I could keep my eyes
on it." Mike Napoli homered against former batterymate Jered Weaver and
Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run double for the Red Sox. Webster (2-1) allowed two
runs and four hits over 6 2-3 innings in his third start since getting recalled
from Triple-A on July 26, when Jake Peavy was traded to San Francisco. The
right-hander struck out three, walked two and hit two batters. Uehara got three
outs during a shaky ninth to get his 24th save. Weaver (12-7) lost for the first
time since June 16, allowing four runs and seven hits through six innings after
going 5-0 in his previous nine starts. The Angels fourth straight loss matched
their loongest skid of the season and dropped them four games behind AL
West-leading Oakland, following the Athletics 6-5 win over Minnesota.

and throw a good game and it wasnt really the case. I was kind of battling the
whole night. I couldnt make pitches. Thats all there is to it." Last Saturday at
Fenway Park against the Yankees, Webster was staked to a 3-0 lead in the second
inning before walking his first three batters in the third and giving up four
runs en route to a 6-4 loss. "It was an encouraging outing for him," Farrell
said. "He was much more under control tonight and showed the ability to make
adjustments more readily than the last time out. Theres no denying his
potential. We see it every time we put the ball in his hand." But Napoli, who
caught Weaver during their first five seasons in the big leagues, helped make
sure there wouldnt be a repeat of that scenario for Webster when he hit his 14th
homer to left-centre with two out in the fifth. It was his third against Weaver.
TRAINERS ROOM Red Sox: Outfielder Allen Craig, who has played only one game
since he was acquired from St. Louis on July 31, got a second opinion on his
sprained left foot from Dr. Robert Anderson in Charlotte, North Carolina. There
were no new findings. Angels: Reliever Mike Morin, who hasnt pitched since July
31 because of a laceration on his left foot, has been doing some long toss and
will continue to through the weekend before he gets back on a mound early next
week. ON DECK Red Sox: Right-hander Clay Buchholz (5-7, 6.20 ERA) has never had
a season with 30 or more starts -- despite the fact that all but two of his 141
big league appearances have come as a starter. This is the fifth straight season
he has spent time on the DL. Angels: Right-hander Garrett Richards (12-4, 2.58
ERA) is coming off his first big league shutout, a five-hitter at Dodger Stadium
in which he threw a career-high 122 pitches.
