DETROIT -- Clay Buchholz pitched well enough to give the road-weary Red Sox a chance to win.The Boston bullpen couldnt finish the job.Brad Ziegler walked Andrew Romine with the bases loaded to cap a three-run eighth inning for Detroit, and the Tigers held on for a 4-3 win Thursday, snapping Bostons six-game winning streak.The Red Sox won at Baltimore on Wednesday night, and manager John Farrell said they arrived at their hotel around 4 a.m. Thursday -- about nine hours before the first pitch. David Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia were out of the starting lineup.I thought we brought great energy considering the circumstances coming into this ballgame, Farrell said. We fought hard.Boston played in its fourth city in five days. The team was home at Fenway Park on Sunday, had a makeup game Monday in Cleveland, then went to a two-game series in Baltimore.Buchholz and Detroits Matt Boyd each allowed a run in six innings, leaving the game in the hands of the relievers.I felt good. I went with out of the stretch the whole start, less moving parts for me, just things Ive been working on, Buchholz said. I feel like that keeps me over the rubber a little bit longer and enables me to command a little bit better.The Red Sox scored twice in the eighth to go up 3-1, but the Tigers rallied. Miguel Cabreras run-scoring single made it 3-2 and gave him 1,000 RBI for his Detroit tenure -- and 1,523 overall in a career that started in 2003 with the Marlins.Playing eight, nine years here, it made me proud, because you dont see that too often right now because all the trades, the situation around baseball, Cabrera said. Its hard to play with one team for a long time.Ziegler came on and allowed a tying single to Victor Martinez. J.D. Martinez walked to load the bases with nobody out, but a grounder and a strikeout left the bases still loaded.Romine then drew a walk to put Detroit ahead.Boston threatened in the ninth against Francisco Rodriguez. Ortizs pinch-hit single put men on first and second with one out, and Xander Bogaerts moved the runners over with a groundout. Mookie Betts hit a line drive, but second baseman Ian Kinsler was well positioned and needed to move only slightly to his right to make the catch for the final out.Rodriguez got his 34th save in 37 chances.Justin Wilson (3-4) won in relief. Junichi Tazawa (2-2) failed to retire a batter in the eighth.Sandy Leon homered for Boston.Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a sacrifice fly for Detroit in the second, and Leon tied it in the fourth with a leadoff homer.Hanley Ramirez hit an RBI single for Boston in the eighth, and Betts scored on a wild pitch.WILD INNINGDetroits first run came after a crucial reversal in the second. Casey McGehee of the Tigers was initially called out when center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. made a diving attempt on his flyball in right-center. Replays clearly showed that Bradley hadnt caught the ball, and after a review, umpires awarded McGehee first base and put J.D. Martinez on third.Boston third base coach Brian Butterfield was then ejected while Saltalamacchia batted.I think Mr. Butterfield was arguing out on balls and strikes with (plate umpire Scott Barry), and he warned him a couple times and he didnt pay any attention to the warnings, said crew chief Jerry Layne, who was umpiring first. Whether he wanted to go or not, he didnt pay any attention to what was going to happen if he continued, and he was ejected.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: P Steven Wright (right shoulder) is expected to throw a bullpen session by Saturday.UP NEXTRed Sox: RHP Rick Porcello (16-3) takes the mound against his former team when Boston faces the Tigers again Friday night.Tigers: Rookie Michael Fulmer (10-3) starts for Detroit.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Mark Ingram Jr. Jersey .

The Jets are now 0-5-1 in the second game of back-to-backs. The game started the same way the Vancouver game started the night before, with the Jets taking the first two penalties of the game and killing off the first, but the Oilers getting on the board first, scoring on the second man-advantage. Frank Warren Jersey . Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. They dont earn major headlines, but the summer hockey landscape is littered with veterans who have signed a one-year contract with the goal of impressing a team enough to earn just one more multiyear deal. And if it doesnt work out? Ask Alexander Semin, who last summer signed a one-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens after being bought out by the Carolina Hurricanes. He played 15 games, was placed on waivers by December and was last seen winning a KHL title.Players used to get paid for what they had done in the league. Now theyre paid for what we predict theyre going to do in the league. The cap has changed the mentality of how we look at players, said former?New York Rangers?and?Islanders GM Neil Smith. If you dont fit into one of two groups -- young, up-and-coming star or veteran superstar -- then youre going to have to sign a short-term deal because no one wants to use up their cap on a guy theyre scared of.Here are the players who have signed deals and are looking at a similar make-or-break season in 2016-17.Thomas Vanek, LW, Detroit Red Wings: Vanek appeared to be a crucial piece when the Minnesota Wild signed the high-scoring winger to a three-year, $19.5 million contract in 2014. At the time, he was fresh off a productive 68-point season and a trip to the Eastern Conference finals with the Canadiens. But Vanek never made it to the third year of that contract, being bought out by Minnesota last month before signing a one-year deal with the Wings. The two-time 40-goal scorer struggled mightily last season, scoring 18 goals and posting a minus-10 before going goalless in 10 Wild playoff games. Vanek, 32, isnt being signed to be a bottom-six forward, meaning he must recapture his scoring touch to stick around. Hell have every opportunity to do that with the Red Wings, who boast talented centers in Darren Helm, Dylan Larkin and fellow free-agent signee Frans Nielsen, not to mention scoring wingers in Henrik Zetterberg and Gustav Nyquist.P.A. Parenteau, RW, New York Islanders: The one-year deal Parenteau signed to return to the Islanders makes it four teams in four seasons for the veteran. But Parenteau might have found the perfect landing spot after navigating between the Colorado Avalanche, Canadiens and Toronto Maple Leafs. A ninth-round pick in 2001, Parenteau enjoyed his greatest success with the Islanders, including a watershed 2011-12 season in which he collected 67 points riding shotgun alongside an emerging John Tavares. That breakout season came at the perfect time because Parenteau signed a four-year, $16 million contract with the Avalanche the following summer. But he never regained his scoring touch and has struggled to maintain consistency since then. He did manage to score 20 goals on the rebuilding Maple Leafs last season, his first time reaching the mark since his first season with the Islanders. The opportunity to rekindle his old chemistry with Tavares could be the 33-year-olds beest chance to earn one last multiyear contract.ddddddddddddChris Kelly, C, Ottawa Senators: Despite being an important depth forward on the Boston Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup-winning team, Chris Kelly seemed destined to end up elsewhere. Despite being beloved by teammates and fans alike, Kelly was the subject of trade rumors for years. His production dipped and he missed almost all of last season with a broken leg, leaving Kelly with little leverage negotiating with a front office at a cap crossroads. Like Parenteau, however, Kelly might have found the perfect landing spot. The center was drafted by the Senators in 1999 and spent parts of seven seasons there before being traded to Boston in 2011. At 35, hell be looked to for leadership and depth, but saddled with a one-year deal, there isnt much room for Kelly to slip in his return to Canadas capital.Mason Raymond, LW, Anaheim Ducks: If the 2011 Stanley Cup finals were a career-defining triumph for Kelly, it was very much the opposite for Raymond. Playing for the runner-up Vancouver Canucks in that closely contested seven-game series, Raymond sustained a severe back injury on a Johnny Boychuk hit in Game 6. The injury sidelined him for several months and Raymond still hasnt fully recovered. He signed with Toronto in 2013 and enjoyed a 19-goal season with the struggling Maple Leafs. That performance earned him a three-year contract with the Calgary Flames. But Raymond failed to fulfill expectations in Calgary, finishing the season in the American Hockey League before the Flames bought him out in June. At 30, hell have an excellent opportunity to recapture his scoring touch with the Ducks playing alongside world-class players Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Ryan Kesler. Hell also be playing for new Ducks coach Randy Carlyle, who is back for his second stint in Anaheim and coached Raymond during his comeback 2013-14 season with the Leafs.Cory Conacher, C, Tampa Bay Lightning: This might actually be the third or fourth chance for the diminutive Conacher, who played last season in Switzerland after spending much of 2014-15 in the AHL. If Conacher is looking for one last shot at the NHL, hell do no better than Tampa. An undrafted free agent out of unheralded Canisius College, Conacher was the 2011-12 AHL MVP before bursting into the NHL with the Lightning. Seeing considerable ice time with both Steven Stamkos and Vincent Lecavalier, Conacher collected 12 points in his first seven NHL games. Then he was traded to the Senators for goalie?Ben Bishop in what remains one of the more lopsided deals in recent NHL history. Conacher has bounced around but is still only 26 and cant expect many more chances to prove himself. With all the talent surrounding him in Tampa, there might not be a better opportunity for him to get one last crack in the NHL. ' ' '
