Garciaparra

Quote: "You know what I like about him? He just plays. He's from the old school, it seems like." -- Tigers manager Buddy Bell on Red Sox's Nomar Garciaparra, who hit two homers against Detroit.It's a fact: The Tigers have lost seven of their last eight games and given up double-digit run totals in six of their 13 losses.Who's hot: Indians reliever Jose Mesa, unhappy about being banished from the closer role for the second straight season, allowed three hits and no earned runs in 2 2/3 innings against Chicago.

Nomar Garciaparra homered off Orioles reliever Terry Mathews last night with two outs in the 12th inning to send the Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 victory at Camden Yards.Orioles center field Brady Anderson was hurt in the fifth inning when he raced back on a fly ball from Boston rookie Garciaparra, leaped to make the catch and rammed his left shoulder into the padding.Anderson went down on the warning track, flipped the ball toward right fielder Eric Davis without looking and began rolling back and forth in pain.
