Sabathia, Yanks roll over Angels
By: Rob Bradford

C.C. Sabathia allowed just one run on four hits, striking out seven and giving up a lone walk over eight innings as the Yankees cruised to a 4-1 win over the Angels in Game 1 of the American League Championship Series, Friday night at Yankee Stadium. Sabathia, who got to three-ball counts just twice, was followed by closer Mariano Rivera, who earned the save with a scoreless ninth inning. Playing in wintery conditions (the teams skipped the pre-game introductions because of the cold), the Angels made three errors, including one by Gold Glove centerfielder Torii Hunter. LA starter John Lackey took the loss, going 5 2/3 innings, giving up nine hits and four runs.

Pedro shines, but Phillies give it away
By: Jerry Spar

Pedro Martinez pitched seven shutout innings and left with a 1-0 lead, but Philadelphia's defense and relief pitching could not hold on to give the former Red Sox ace a win in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Friday night in Los Angeles. The Dodgers scored two in the eighth inning on an error and a bases-loaded walk for a 2-1 win. There was some postgame discussion about whether Phillies manager Charlie Manuel should have left Martinez in the game, as he had thrown only 87 pitches, invoking memories of the Red Sox' 2003 ALDS against the Yankees.

Lowrie: 'The prognosis is good'
By: Alex Speier

Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie, whose season was hampered by the need for surgery on his left wrist in April and a difficult recovery process from it, met with Dr. Donald Sheridan -- the specialist who performed surgery on him in April -- and was told on Friday morning that his wrist should be fine after an offseason to recover and strengthen the area.

 

"The prognosis is good," Lowrie wrote in an e-mail. "With rest, strength and conditioning it should be 100 percent."

Sox acquire top indy league prospect
By: Alex Speier

The Red Sox purchased the contract of Reynaldo Rodriguez, the 2009 Rookie of the Year in the independent Golden Baseball League, from that league's Yuma Scorpions. Playing for a team owned by former Sox shortstop Edgar Renteria and his brother, Edinson, the native of Columbia hit .335 with a .380 OBP and .486 slugging mark while adding six homers, 48 RBI and 18 steals (in 21 attempts) to his line in 74 games. He was named the GBL's top prospect by Baseball America.

 

Rodriguez will come to spring training on a tryout basis, giving the Red Sox time before deciding if they want to sign him to a contract for the 2010 season. Rodriguez played first base for Yuma, though his speed might make him better suited for the outfield in the future.
