Bruins hold on in win over Habs, 2-1
By: Joe Haggerty

QUEBEC CITY, Quebec -- Michael Ryder scored on a broken play in the first period and Mark Recchi set up a sweet Chuck Kobasew goal in the second period to lead the B's to a 2-1 win over the Montreal Canadiens during their fourth preseason game at the Colisee in Quebec City. Tuukka Rask made 20 saves through the first two periods and held off a furious Canadiens attack in the final 20 minutes to salt away the victory. Josh Gorges scored in the third period for the Habs to make it a 2-1 game, and Brian Gionta was called off-sides on a potential game-tying score in the final minutes. The B's are 3-1 during the preseason, and next hit the road to take on the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night.

Green headed to Boston for tests
By: Rob Bradford

BALTIMORE -- Red Sox infielder Nick Green did not leave with the team following its 9-3 win over the Orioles, but told WEEI.com he will instead fly back to Boston for tests on his right leg. Green, who has been hampered by what he described as a "dead leg" since last Monday, remained unavailable to play because of weakness in the leg. “It’s tough because I have no idea,” the infielder said. “I feel better every day, but I still don’t know why it’s doing what it’s doing. Hopefully I’ll know more tomorrow.” Green said he still can't remain in his batting stance for more than a few second before his leg gives out. For more on Green's situation see the Full Count Blog.

Red Sox sweep Baltimore
By: Rob Bradford

BALTIMORE — Daisuke Matsuzaka gave up three runs over 5-1/3 innings, and the Red Sox offense pounded out 14 hits, including home runs by Jason Bay and Jacoby Ellsbury, and claimed a 9-3 win over the Orioles on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards. The top three hitters in the Boston lineup — Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Victor Martinez — went a combined 7-for-13 with two walks, scoring four runs and knocking in four. Matsuzaka, who won his second start in as many chances since coming off the 15-day disabled list, allowed eight hits, striking out five and walking one while throwing 110 pitches. The Sox have now won 11 of their last 13 games, and 19 of their last 21 against the Orioles.

Both Xander Bogaerts and Anthony Ranaudo punctuated their strong 2013 seasons with head-turning events on June 13. On that day, Bogaerts, the Red Sox' top prospect, was promoted from Double-A Portland Pawtucket, with the 20-year-old becoming one of the youngest position players in the affiliate's history. On that same day, right-hander Anthony Ranaudo punched out 13 batters for Double-A Portland, the most strikeouts by a Red Sox minor leaguer since Jon Lester in 2005. They joined Minor Details to discuss both those accomplishments and their seasons to date.
