"I haven't seen the replay. Some guys have said it cleared. If that's the case, they made the right call" Boston scored seven runs off Dave Bush (0-2), who left with no outs in the third. Kevin Millar singled in a run tn the first, Nixon got an RBI single, and Ramirez hit his homer in the second. Mark Bellhorn added a two-run double in the third.

"The biggest trouble I had was locating my fastball," Bush said. "The two-out hits really hurt me." Johnny Damon also drove in two runs with a third-inning single for a 9-1 lead. The Blue Jays scored on Vernon Wells' double in the third, and Ramirez helped them score two unearned runs in the fourth. With one out, he fought the sun and was charged with a two-base error on Orlando Hudson's fly near the wall. Russ Adams singled in a run before Catalanatto hit another fly to left that Ramirez struggled with, and the ball fell for a double and another run.

Zaun then hit a ball Ramirez caught for a sacrifice fly and the crowd chanted, "Man-ny, Man-ny." Schilling finished with his 10th strikeout. He allowed 10 hits, two walks and three earned runs. NOTEBOOK: Former Boston third baseman Shea Hillenbrand went 4-for-4 and was hit by a pitch for Toronto. Nixon reached into the stands near the rightfield foul pole to take a homer away from Alex Rios. The play occurred near the spot where Yankees rightfielder Gary Sheffield had a run-in with a fan last week.

BOSTON Curt Schilling got his first win this season with plenty of help and harm from Manny Ramirez. Schilling labored through five innings, and the Boston Red Sox won their fifth straight, 12-7, over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. "There are things I need to work on and address and get right," Schilling said, "but I certainly felt better than I've shown. I'm never happy going five, but, again, it's a win." It was a strange day at Fenway Park. The game started at 11:08 a.m.

for the Patriots Day holiday. Jets saluting the Boston Marathon flew overhead while Schilling was on the mound. Toronto manager John Gibbons was ejected from the game. Then there were Ramirez's adventures in leftfield. He hit two home runs to drive in five runs and lost two balls in the sun perhaps because he wasn't used to its position so early in the day for a double and a two-base error.

Toronto leftfielder Frank Catalanat-to, a former Tiger, also let a ball drop about 10 feet in front of him when he lost it in the sun for a double. "It was the worst thing we've ever played under," Catalanatto said. Boston rightfielder- Trot Nixon could sympathize. He often fights the sun in games with afternoon starts. "I don't think anybody realizes it, but no matter what kind of glasses you have on, if the ball's in the sun, you can't see it," he said.

Schilling (1-1), who's returning from WINSLOW TOWNSONAeaociatecl 'roaa Manny Ramirez, center, is greeted by a teammate after his second home run of the day. David Ortiz is at right. The hit originally was ruled a double. 2005 overall 2004 vs. opp.

There was no doubt about the first one, a three-run shot in the second that cleared the leftfield seats. There was plenty of uncertainty about the second homer in the sixth that drove in two. That drive hit just above the red line on the wall for a homer, but bounced back onto the field. Third-base umpire Bob Davidson originally ruled the ball was in play and Ramirei: stopped at second. Then the umpires conferred and changed the call to a homer, Ramirez's fourth of the season.

Gibbons rushed onto the field to argue and was ejected. November ankle surgery, barely made it through the fifth inning to qualify for the win. He threw 118 pitches and left with a 9-3 lead. He escaped two bases-loaded jams, one when he fanned Catalanatto to end the second moments after the flyover, "He had to throw a lot of pitches early (40 in the second inning) but he threw the ball well," catcher Jason Va-ritek said. "It's another building block." With two outs in the fifth, Schilling allowed Catalanotto's two-run single, then struck out Gregg Zaun.

Inge, DM liturla, A Voting, Col I 20 3 6 400 LA 9 18 3 7 .368 BALTIMORE As the television camera showed Eric Gagne in the dugout recently, Dodgers broadcaster Vin Scully reached back more than 300 years.

'They also serve who only stand and Scully said, quoting 17th Century poet John Milton. Milton's words apply to Troy Percival as well as Gagne. As the third week of the season began Monday, each ninth-inning reliever awaited hi first save opportunity of 2005. Gagne has been on the disabled list all season. Percival has been healthy, active, ready and un-needed for saves.

"That's strange," manager Alan Trammel! said. To be eligible for a save when he enters a game with three outs left, a pitcher must inherit a lead of three runs or fewer. In their five wins entering Monday, the Tigers led by at least five runs with, three outs left. Percival's only appearance in a close game came when he inherited a 4-4 ninth-inning tie ir, Minnesota. He promptly lost when he gave up first career earned run to the Twins.

Percival has gone a week longer without his first save opportunity of the season than in any of his nine seasons as the Angels' closer. "He's joked around about it a little bit: 'Hey, give me a Trammell said. Could the layoff affect Percival in his first save opportunity? Trammell acknowledged Monday afternoon that when a player can't perform his specialty for a while, the drought could cause rust and play with his psyche. IPEAKINO OUT: Here's what a couple of Tigers said about the indefinite loss of cleanup hitter Magglio Ordonez because of a hernia: Rondell White: "A lot of people questioned his knee, and I know he wanted to prove to them that he was healthy. Now his knee is great, and he's got this.

It's a good thing they found out what was wrong early" early in the season "so we can get him back in the lineup. He's missed. He's the type who can go and get two or three hits in a game and drive in three runs. "He's got to go relax and not feel bad. I've been hurt a lot in my career, and I know exactly how he feels.

I feel bad for him right now, because he's a great guy. He's soft-spoken and considerate. You don't like to see this happen to anybody, especially when he's a good guy." Brandon Inge: "I'm upset that he won't be in our lineup for a while, but I know he's been uncomfortable. He didn't show it much, I guess because he doesn't want to burden the team with his ailment. I can respect that, because if I'm hurt, I like to keep it to myself and fix it and get back.

"The thing I'm happiest for is that they can cure it and he can be back. I know it's unfortunate that he's going to miss time, but it's something that can be fixed and he can be back." NOTEBOOK! Former Tigers pitching coach Steve McCatty is subbing for longtime Orioles bullpen coach Elrod Hendricks, who is recovering from an apparent stroke. McCatty, a Detroit native and graduate of Troy High, pitched nine years in the big leagues, all with Oakland. MeCat -ty is the Orioles' Triple-A Ottawa pitching coach. The Tigers claimed Arizona Triplo-A right-hander Adam Peterson on waivers and assigned him to Double-A Erie.

Peterson has pitched in three games in the majors, all last season with Toronto. ins unto a WiM Ip er bb eo Now Torlt KBrown(l0-1) 8 1112 3 Ouantrll 2 2 2 1 0 Stanton 0 0 0 0 1 0 kersey 1H 2 0 0 0 1 Baltimore Cabrera (W1-1) 1 1 3 3 2 3 SReed 111110 Kline 110 0 11 Bflyan 1 1 0 0 0 0 10 400 11 .379 11 .379 Blaicck, Tax 7 29 Sorts, Tsx 7 29 M.
