BOSTON -- A few relaxing words from David Ortiz helped get Rubby De La Rosa in the right frame of mind for his first start in nearly three years. Rickey Henderson Jersey . De La Rosa pitched seven shutout innings, Brock Holt hit his first career homer and the Boston Red Sox won their sixth straight with a 7-1 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday night. The teams kept it clean a day after having their second benches-clearing scrum in less than a week. Taking the mound for a tense start after the teams cleared the benches in their last two meetings, De La Rosa heard all he needed from Big Papi. "David told me whatever happened last night, just focus on pitching," said De La Rosa, who allowed four hits and struck out eight without issuing a walk in his first start since July 31, 2011, when he was with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Holt and Jackie Bradley Jr. each hit two-run homers, and Jonathan Herrera had three singles as the Red Sox continued to rebound from a recent 10-game losing streak. There was no carry-over from Friday nights game, when three Red Sox managers and a pitcher were ejected after Rays starter David Price hit Ortiz in the first inning and Mike Carp in the fourth. "No pregame warnings," Boston manager John Farrell said. "We met with the umpiring crew before the game, just had a chance to talk about a couple of things. That was it." De La Rosa (1-0), recalled earlier in the day from Triple-A Pawtucket, made his first start for the Red Sox. "He showed four pitches for strikes," Farrell said. "Given the environment, given what we went through last night, he was outstanding." The 25-year old right-hander was acquired in Bostons salary-dump deal in August 2012 that sent Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez to the Dodgers. Rays first baseman James Loney, who also came over in the deal with De La Rosa, remembered the talent the righty showed. "Yeah. hes always had an electric arm and wants to be out there, a good competitor," he said. "Hes probably what, mid 20s? Back then, he was a good pitcher and you knew he was going to be good." Kevin Kiermaier had an inside the park homer for the Rays, who have lost five straight. It came when Bradley Jr. attempted a leaping grab and the ball caromed off the Green Monster, off his face and rolled away as he was down on the ground. Rays manager Joe Maddon was happy the teams didnt follow Fridays hard feelings with any nastiness. "It was really nice to go out there and not be concerned with a bunch of garbage and just play the game," he said. "I was pleased with that a lot. I thought it was a well-played game." Last Sunday at Tropicana Field, the clubs had a scrum after the Red Sox were yelling from the dugout when Yunel Escobar stole third with the Rays holding a big lead. Rays starter Jake Odorizzi (2-5) lasted just 3 1-3 innings, giving up five runs and six hits with two wild pitches. The Red Sox grabbed a 3-0 lead in the third when Holt homered in Bostons bullpen after Herrera singled. Carp added a sacrifice fly. Boston added two more in the fourth and chased Odorizzi. Herrera dropped down a safety squeeze, and was credited with a hit, when Grady Sizemore slid in just under the throw, making it 4-0. A.J. Pierzynski added an RBI single. Bradley Jr.s two-run homer made it 7-0 in the fifth. NOTES: Boston second baseman Dustin Pedroia was out with a sore right hand. He was hurt on a swing in Friday. He had an MRI and the results showed "no further or structural damage." ... Rays RF Wil Myers and SS Escobar were also out with injuries. Myers hurt his right hand in a fall when he tumbled over CF Desmond Jennings as the pair collided on Pierzynskis game-ending triple on Friday. Escobar injured his quad running out a grounder Friday, but Maddon said he should be back "(Sunday) or Monday at the worst." ... Red Sox LHP Jon Lester (5-6, 3.45 ERA) faces LHP Erik Bedard (2-3, 4.10) in the series finale on Sunday. ... To make room for De La Rosa, the Red Sox optioned OF/1B Daniel Nava to Pawtucket. Goose Gossage Jersey . Duhamel, from Lively, Ont., and Radford, from Balmertown, Ont., were third with 210.84 points. Teammates Kirsten Moore-Towers of St. Catharines, Ont., and Dylan Moscovitch of Toronto were fourth. Duhamel and Radford, who were seventh at the Sochi Olympics, also won bronze at last years world championships in London, Ont. Andy Ashby Jersey . Right-hander Todd Redmond took the loss. Jose Bautista hit his second home run of the spring. Here are a handful of tidbits from around camp: Hutchison impressive The Blue Jays are being cautious when talking about their young arms but internally, excitement is building over the way Drew Hutchison is looking and performing this spring.Each week, we will run down the top waiver wire pickups with a focus on the coming week and rest of the season. QUARTERBACKS Philip Rivers (@ Titans) Week - 36/47, 419 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTAfter a dismal 2012 season, Rivers has turned back the clock so far in 2013, throwing for 614 yards and seven touchdowns with only one interception through two weeks. Rivers spread the ball around nicely in the win over the Eagles hitting eight different receivers while matching Michael Vick punch for punch. Bottom line, he just looks more comfortable in Mike McCoys new offence and could easily produce solid numbers this season. He is still a borderline QB1 at this point, but a very solid QB2. Ryan Tannehill  (vs Falcons) Last Week - 23/34, 319 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INTThe Dolphins are off to a 2-0 start thanks in large part to Tannehills solid quarterbacking. After a good Week 1, he turned in an even better performance in the win over the Colts and got on the same page with Mike Wallace which bodes well going forward. The Dolphins running game is a work in progress while the passing game is starting to fire so you can expect Tannehill to throw the ball quite a bit. He also has appealing matchups against Atlanta and New Orleans in the next two weeks. Others to consider - Alex Smith (@ Eagles), Carson Palmer (@ Saints), EJ Manuel (@ Jets) RUNNING BACKS James Starks (@ Cardinals)Last Week - 24 touches, 168 yards, 1 TDThere is a very strong possibility that Eddie Lacy will sit out this week at Cincinnati. The Packers have a Week 4 bye so there is no sense rushing him back from his concussion. That opens the door for Starks who turned in an extremely fine performance against Washington after Lacy went down. Running backs with a solid chance at topping 100 yards arent often available so go ahead and grab him for this week. Even when Lacy gets back, Starks has probably earned himself a bigger share of the Packers carries with his huge day against Washington. Bilal Powell (vs. Bills)Last Week - 14 touches, 70 yards, 1 TDThere is limited upside with Powell given that he is locked into a timeshare with Chris Ivory in the Jets backfield. That said, the split looks to be pretty even, so Powell should see around 12-14 carries per week and catch a pass or two on check downs giving him some value. If you need depth at running back or a desperate for a flex play you could definitely do worse. Danny Woodhead (@ Titans) Last Week – 17 touches, 64 yardsWoodhead appears to have taken over second spot in the Chargers running back hierarchy behind Ryan Matthews and ahead of Ronnie Brown. While he has limited value as a runner, Woodhead will see lots of work on third down which puts him in position to catch a lot of balls from Philip Rivers who loves his check downs. Eight of Woodheads 17 Week 2 touches came in the passing game giving him definite value in PPR leagues. Donald Brown (@49ers)Last Week - 7 carries, 30 yardsWith Vick Ballard shut down for the season, Brown becomes the Colts de facto No.2 running back behind Ahmad Bradshaw. He isnt close to being worth a flex play right now, but with Bradshaws injury history might be worth a pickup if you have room to stash him on the bench. He is one foot injury away from being a starter. (09/19 Note: With Indianapolis acquiring Trent Richardson Brown should no longer be considered) Others to consider – Andre Ellington (@Saints), Pierre Thomas (vs Cardinals), DaRel Scott (@ Paanthers), Brandon Jacobs (@ Panthers) WIDE RECEIVERS Eddie Royal (@ Titans)Last Week - 7 catches, 90 yards, 1 TDIf you grabbed Eddie Royal after his two touchdown performance in Week 1 youre probably feeling pretty smart right about now. Kevin Mcreynolds Jersey. Royal followed up his two touchdowns in the opener with three more against the Eagles. His five touchdowns through two weeks actually match his total output from the previous four years. The TD rate is clearly unsustainable but he has finally developed some chemistry with Philip Rivers and with Malcom Floyd out indefinitely, Royal will continue to see plenty of targets. DeAndre Hopkins (@ Ravens)Last Week - 7 catches, 117 yards, 1 TDHes already owned in over half of all leagues, but if Hopkins is available in your league, grab him. The Texans rookie had a productive Week 1 with five catches for 66 yards and followed it up with an even better performance in Week 2. With good speed and excellent ball skills he has established himself as the clear No.2 in Houston behind Andre Johnson. Hopkins has solid WR3 potential and if Johnson is forced to miss any time, his value is even higher. Kendall Wright (vs Chargers)Last Week - 7 catches, 54 yards, 1 TDKenny Britt is supposed to be the Titans No.1 receiver, but he is in the doghouse and Wright looks like the much better play. After a disappointing opener, Wright bounced back with a strong effort in Week 2. He was targeted a team-high 11 times and hauled in seven of those looks including a six-yard TD in the first quarter. Tennessees offensive scheme and Jake Lockers inaccuracy limits the potential for Titans receivers but Wright maintains a pretty high-ceiling and has value as a WR3 in PPR leagues. Marlon Brown (vs Texans)Last Week - 4 catches, 45 yards, 1 TDBrown has found the endzone in back-to-back weeks to start the season. With Jacoby Jones sidelined and a serious lack of depth at receiver, Brown is quickly establishing himself as Joe Flaccos No. 2 behind Torrey Smith. If Ray Rice is forced to miss any time it could mean even more targets for Brown. The Texans have also allowed six passing touchdowns in the first two weeks making this a decent matchup for Brown this week. He is a solid depth receiver and a good pick up for bye weeks. Others to consider – Andre Roberts (@ Saints), Robert Woods (@ Jets), Ted Ginn (vs Giants), Aaron Dobson (@ Bucs) TIGHT ENDS Charles Clay (vs Falcons)Last Week - 9 catches, 108 yards, 1 TDClay has opened the season with back-to-back five catch performances and picked up 109 yards against the Colts in Week 2. He also added a rushing touchdown on a carry from the one-yard line. Hes not really a TE1 at this point but is a good pickup in two tight end leagues and a solid bye week replacement. The goal-line carries are an added bonus and worth keeping an eye on. Tyler Eifert (vs Packers)Last Week - 5 catches, 110 yards, 2TDsFor now, the Bengals are going to use Eifert and Jermaine Gresham fairly evenly which limits the value for both. However, Eiftert is simply a better player and has the potential to be a star. He can line up anywhere in the offence and should eventually start to shoulder more of the offensive load for Cincinnati. Hes no more than a TE2 right now, but if you have room to stash him, it could pay big dividends in the long run.
