SAN DIEGO -- As the innings mount, Paul Clemens fastball diminishes.That problem arose again Tuesday when the Boston Red Sox beat Clemens and the San Diego Padres.He has a precipitous drop off in velocity, Padres manager Andy Green said. Hes at 94-95 (mph) in the first three innings then its 86-91 in the fourth and fifth.While the Padres scuffled the Red Sox were clicking. Jackie Bradley Jr. and Chris Young homered and Clay Buchholz pitched 6-plus solid innings.Buchholz (6-10) was making his first start since Aug. 23 as his last three appearances came out of the bullpen. Working exclusively from the stretch, Buchholz allowed a run, eight hits and struck out six in facing the Padres for the first time.Clemens was starting against the Red Sox for the first time as well. And at first, he looked good. Then the batters got another look at him and Clemens turned passive.Ive just got to be more aggressive, he said. I feel like Im right there, about to turn the corner and get into the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. But then I have a hiccup.Green said its imperative Clemens finds the answer to his declining velocity.If he cant, then hell be working out of the bullpen, Green said. But he has the stuff.Clemens said its more about his head than his right arm.I think its mental, he said. I just took my foot off the pedal.The Red Sox lead the majors in runs but had scored just once in their past two games, both losses. Previous to that in three straight wins, they had collected 35 runs.Neither team scored in the first three innings or in the last four. But the Red Sox notched five runs in the middle innings for their 16th win in their last 25 games.The Padres threatened in the seventh, when Oswaldo Arcia and Luis Sardinas singled. But Buchholz struck out pinch-hitter Jon Jay and Travis Jankowski before being relieved by Matt Barnes to face Wil Myers. Barnes got Myers to expand outside the zone for another strikeout to quell the rally.Joe Kelly, the third Red Sox reliever, pitched the ninth.Boston chased Clemens in the fifth when he wasnt able to record an out. Xander Bogaerts, Mookie Betts and Hanley Ramirez hit consecutive singles, with Ramirezs scoring Bogaerts. Youngs RBI grounder made it 5-1.Clemens (2-5) was charged with five runs and nine hits over four innings. He struck out three and walked three in dropping his third straight start.Ryan Schimpf snapped an 0-for-15 skid when he hit a fourth-inning homer, his 17th, to pull the Padres within 3-1.In the fourth inning, just after pitching coach Darren Balsley paid his starter a visit, Bradley smashed a two-run homer, which scored Sandy Leon who opened the inning with a bunt single. Young extended Bostons lead to 3-0 when he went back-to-back with Bradley, hitting his eighth homer and second in two games.Thats a good lineup, Clemens said. They dont miss mistakes.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Steve Wright got a second opinion on his sore right shoulder on Tuesday, which confirmed there was no structural damage and that he is suffering from bursitis. Manager John Farrell said theres no timetable for Wrights return.Padres: Activated Jay (fractured right forearm) from the 60-day DL.UP NEXT:Red Sox: LHP David Price (14-8, 3.92) caps the three-game series in San Diego. Price has a five-start winning streak and has allowed but eight runs in 35 innings over that span.Padres: RHP Jarred Cosart (0-2, 5.14) has allowed one earned run or less in four of his six Padres starts since coming over in a seven-player trade with Miami in July.Alexei Kovalev Jersey . Belfort (24-10) needed just 77 seconds to down Henderson in the headlining bout of Saturdays "UFC Fight Night: Belfort vs. Henderson" event at Goiania Arena in Goiania, Brazil. The fight served as a rematch of the pairs 2006 meeting, which Henderson won by decision. Ken Dryden Canadiens Jersey .com) - The Pittsburgh Penguins placed forward James Neal on injured reserve Tuesday. http://www.canadienssale.com/authentic-dickie-moore-canadiens-jersey/ . Ancelotti says Ronaldo has recovered from a hamstring injury but "but he doesnt feel comfortable yet so we wont risk him." Madrid is third in the Spanish league, six points behind leader Barcelona, going into Saturdays game against Valladolid. Doug Harvey Jersey . The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup. Maurice Richard Jersey . -- The goal posts lying flat on the field, Arizonas fans lingered on the field, congregating around the locker room entrance nearly 30 minutes after rushing out of the stands.Eddie Jones says the British and Irish Lions have to get their players emotionally involved to end their long wait for a series win in New Zealand next summer.Despite a series win in Australia in 2013, they head Down Under having won just six Tests against the All Blacks since their first trip in 1888 -- including two on the solitary successful tour in 1971 -- and were routed 3-0 by the world champions on their last visit in 2005.England coach Jones, who reiterated his commitment to the job, has recent success in the southern hemisphere after leading the country to a maiden series victory on Australian soil last month.He also brought an end to Englands Six Nations Grand Slam search, guiding the nation to their first in 13 years, with those results built on intensity, pride and passion.Warren Gatland did a great job on the last Lions tour, picked a strong squad, played a very simple well-understood rugby, Jones told ESPN.Its about getting the guys emotionally involved in playing for the Lion because it is such a historical team that the tactics arent so important as the emotional involvement.Jones name has been linked to the tourists coaching role after his rapid success with England but Lions officials saw their approach to the RFU rebuffed.Jones was speaking on the sidelines of the ongoing Tour de Frannce, and joked that it would be more likely he would lead a team in the gruelling cycling race than on a Lions tour.ddddddddddddIts very flattering to be considered but Ive signed a contract with the English rugby union to coach them for the next four years and I need to spend every moment I can making sure I make England as strong as I can, he said.To coach the Lions you have to take 12 months away from your national team and I just cant afford that time away. Ill coach England and wait to see what comes up next. Maybe Ill coach at the Tour de France next.Jones has said he wants to see a large England contingent in the squad to face the All Blacks, and he hopes the tour can help develop his players.I would be disappointed if there werent as many as 15 English players picked for that squad but we have to get through another November series and Six Nations, he said.If our players keep performing well, which they will, then I anticipate we will have at least 15 players in that Lions squad.Jones added: The great thing with our English guys is if we do get 15 picked in the Lions, they will get a different coach, they will get different ideas that allow them to grow even further.
