Uehara's offense bailed him out on Monday against the Texas Rangers, as he was hit for seven runs and seven hits in five innings, but still picked up the win in his team's 10-9 triumph. Uehara, who has never faced the Red Sox, had allowed just a run and five hits over five innings in his big league debut. Boston mov |

The Rangers purchased the contract of left-handed pitcher Derek Holland from Triple-A Oklahoma City to take Rupe's spot on the roster. The 22-y |

Injuries sidelined him throughout 2007 and 2008, however, and he returned this season after initially signing a minor-league deal with th |
