BOSTON -- Two American League East contenders coming off big weekend series road wins get together for the next three games of the postseason chase at Fenway Park, starting on Monday night.Were going, were moving, we got that mojo back, slugger David Ortiz said after his go-ahead three-run homer on Sunday gave the first-place Red Sox some momentum heading into the series opener against the visiting Baltimore Orioles. We had a good road trip.The Red Sox, who defeated Toronto in the rubber match on Sunday to take a two-game lead in the division, won 2-of-3 in three different cities and come home for a seven-game homestand.The Orioles, who won their series in Detroit as ace Chris Tillman came off the disabled list to win their rubber game, hit Boston tied for second in the division and two games up in the wild card.We are going to go on a plane and go to the next hostile environment, Orioles manager Buck Showalter said Sunday. We will let people continue to cast out on us and count us out. We like that.David Price, the expensive free agent who has gotten hot at just the right time, faces Wade Miley in the series opener. Price will pitch twice on this homestand.Weve been on the road so damn much, I dont think it matters to our guys where were playing, Boston manager John Farrell said before Sundays game. Were looking forward to getting on the field every day. To get back at Fenway, get back in front of our fans, sure thats always a motivator for us. At this time of the year, you can feed off of that energy.Price, who has taken a bit of a backseat to 20-game winner Rick Porcello, has won six straight starts (one of them against Baltimore), compiling a 2.14 ERA and limiting batters to a .204 batting average over that span (42 strikeouts in 42 innings). He is 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA in three starts against Baltimore this season, 9-5 with a 2.87 ERA lifetime against the Birds.The winning streak has made him a 15-game winner for the fifth time in his career, and he is 8-2 with a 2.58 ERA in September divisional games since 2013.Miley, who pitched for the Red Sox last season before being traded to the Seattle Mariners in the offseason, has been a disaster since being acquired by the Orioles at the trade deadline. He is 1-4 with a 7.15 ERA, yielding six homers and 27 earned runs in 34 innings.He has never pitched against the Red Sox, but last season went 7-5 with a 4.30 ERA at Fenway.The Orioles, who have gone 4-2 at Fenway this season, dont have great individual numbers against Price. Mark Trumbo leads the way by going 9-for-28 and two homers and Chris Davis is 8-for-28 with two blasts. Michael Bourn is 3-for-22 and Nolan Reimold 4-for-33.Hanley Ramirez is the only Red Sox hitter with a real past against Miley. Hes gone 5-for-24 with a homer. Noah Syndergaard Jersey .7 million, one-year contract, a raise of $2.2 million. Wieters had asked for $8.75 million and the Orioles had offered $6. Todd Frazier Mets Jersey . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division. http://www.metsbaseballauthentic.com/jeurys-familia-mets-jersey/ . The move comes after the Canadiens were approached by the Buffalo Sabres for permission to speak to Dudley - a former Sabres player and head coach. "The Sabres called for permission and I appreciate that, Im flattered, Dudley told TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun of ESPN. Darryl Strawberry Mets Jersey . Coach Tom Thibodeau says the former MVP will probably start travelling with the team in the next few weeks. Rose tore the meniscus in his right knee at Portland in November and was ruled out for the remainder of the season by the Bulls. Devin Mesoraco Mets Jersey . But now that hes in the NHL, the Calgary Flames centre showed big improvement in that department by scoring the winner in the eighth round of a 5-4 shootout victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday. Lance Franklin is exerting considerable influence on Sydneys push for an AFL premiership, even if you disregard his incredible deeds on the field.Franklin looms as a potential match-winner in the Swans preliminary final against Geelong at the MCG on Friday night.The 29-year-old, who missed the clubs straight-sets exit last September because of a mental-health condition, was among the minor premiers best players in both finals over the past fortnight.Franklin has booted 78 goals this year but his guidance has also boosted Sydney.Xavier Richards is a prime example.Richards managed two AFL games in his first three seasons at the SCG, having been starved of opportunities by a settled back six.The defender was thrown forward earlier this year in the NEAFL and hasnt looked back, playing the past eight AFL games.That run includes a strong showing in last weekends semi-final, when he booted two goals and dished off another three in a 36-point win over Adelaide.Richards says the mentorship of Franklin has been instrumental in helping him adjust to life at the other end of the ground.Buddy has been super. Hes a very intelligent footballer, he really understands the game, Richards told AAP.Hes been really good, telling me about leading patterns and some little tricks that I never knew before.Hell speak up in meetings, hellp during games and while were training.dddddddddddd Hes a real leader in our forward line, weve got some young players and he really mentors a lot of us.Young guns Isaac Heeney, Tom Papley and George Hewett have expressed similar sentiments about Franklin this year.Older brother Ted, who will retire at the end of this season, has been another sounding board for Richards in his first AFL finals campaign. He just told me dont over-think it, Xavier Richards said.He reminds me Im a good athlete. Im fit, fast and have a lot of good assets and these guys (opposition defenders) arent amazing. Theyre no better than Dane Rampe or Heath Grundy, who I play on at training.Ted Richards hasnt played AFL since round 17 but was listed as an emergency last weekend.Id love to play with Ted before he retires. Itd be cool but if it doesnt happen then its not the end of the world, Xavier Richards said.The Swans forward line for Friday night is far from settled, with Gary Rohan (leg) and Kurt Tippett (broken jaw) both racing the clock as they bid to prove their fitness.Rohan and Tippett will need to train well on Wednesday to convince coach John Longmire they warrant selection in the high-stakes clash.
