Former Ohio State coach Earle Bruce motivates fans while giving a pep talk Monday at the annual 'Buckeye Bash' in Mansfield. / Jason J. Molyet/CentralOhio.com
For someone who ended up in banking, Rex Kern didn�t get caught up in numbers when he was carving out his legendary football career at Ohio State.
He admits he didn�t realize, as this season unfolded, the Buckeyes were rewriting a page in the OSU record book he originally helped author.
Unless you�ve been on a space mission, you know Ohio State carries a school record 23-game winning streak into Saturday�s game at Michigan. The original 22-game mark was set from 1967-69. Kern, a college football Hall of Famer, was the starting quarterback in 1968 and �69.
But it�s hard to feel bittersweet about the broken record when you weren�t aware you had it in the first place.
�I told (my wife) Nancy one writer wanted to do a story about the win streak and she said, �Well, what was it?� And I said, �I don�t know.� It was my understanding you were suppose to win every game,� Kern said.
His Buckeyes nearly did, going 27-2 from 1968-70. Even though the iconic dual-threat quarterback and the rest of the so-called �super sophs� won the 1968 national championship, Kern�s 1969 team was called the greatest college team ever assembled.
�I think it�s great,� Kern said about the current streak. �And I think it�s great that the team I played on, and those guys before we became eligible (as sophomores in 1968), started that record. It�s nice to have, but there�s more games to play and prepare for. The records will take care of themselves.�
Forget jumping in Mirror Lake, a student body tradition on the OSU campus during Ohio State-Michigan week. The only cold splash of reality you need is this: The Wolverines have spoiled enough seasons for the Buckeyes to make your stomach turn.
Perfect seasons in 1969, 1973, 1993, 1995, 1996 � ruined by Michigan.
Eleven perfect Big Ten seasons � crushed by Michigan.
Four winning streaks of 10 or more games � snapped by Michigan.
The bitterest pill to swallow came in 1969 when that 22-game winning streak and bid for a second straight national title came to the end in Ann Arbor. The 24-12 loss to a 17-point underdog triggered the epic �Ten-Year War� between OSU coach Woody Hayes and his protege, then-rookie Michigan coach Bo Schembechler.
Earle Bruce, an assistant on Hayes� staff, turned scarlet as he recounted that game Monday for a packed house at the 33rd annual �Buckeye Bash� in Mansfield.
�(Michigan) didn�t have a chance,� said Bruce, his voice a dull roar as usual. �We had some great football players and they weren�t going to touch us ... but (Bo) was a disciple of Woody Hayes and he knew Woody better than anybody knew Woody.
�He took one guy (defensive back Barry Pierson) who played closed-side cornerback and put him on the open side of the field and positioned him so he could intercept the pass we threw all season � a quick-out to (Bruce) Jankowski.�
The Wolverines forced seven turnovers, including six interceptions � three of them in the second half by Pierson to preserve a 24-12 halftime lead.
If that isn�t a cautionary tale for these streaking Buckeyes, a two-touchdown favorite Saturday, there�s no such thing as a cautionary tale.
�What it tells you is, don�t ever think there isn�t a chance for anyone who wants to win more than you do,� Bruce said. �Have you ever seen a team play above themselves? You�re thinking, �Golly, I don�t recognize that team. They look so good.� We couldn�t catch up to them.�
Kern, living in semi-retirement in California, knew what he would say if he had a chance to address these Buckeyes.
�I would tell them just continue to play as hard each and every play for 60 minutes,� Kern said. �You�ve going to be challenged, you�re going to be in a hostile environment, and just don�t quit.
�What do (the Wolverines) have to lose? These are the ones that can really challenge you.�
When Ohio State has the ball
Carlos Hyde may be only the second player for Urban Meyer to top 1,000 yards rushing, and the first running back, but his teams definitely know how to pound the rock. In Meyer�s 12 years as a head coach he�s had 22 different players rush for over 600 yards in a season. This year he already has two in Hyde (1,064) and quarterback Braxton Miller (738). If not limited by injuries, Jordan Hall would be probably be a third. He only needs 91 yards to get there.
When Michigan has the ball
Having the nation�s 62nd-ranked passing attack is nothing to write home about, but it would be even worse if not for the 503 yards put up against Indiana. The error-prone Wolverines sholld be better. They have two of the better targets in wideout Jeremy Gallon and tight end Devin Funchess. Gallon has caught five or more balls in six straight games and needs 222 yards to break Braylon Edwards� single-season record of 1,330. Tight ends have given OSU trouble and Funchess is a fine one. His 686 receiving yards are a school single-season mark.
Dominant in the trenches
Michigan�s woes offensively have been well-documented. The Wolverines rank 110th in the FBS in sacks allowed with 2.9 a game and the Buckeyes come in leading the Big Ten with 36. It�s also a battle of the league�s 11th-ranked rushing offense (Michigan) vs. the B1G�s second-best rushing defense (OSU). The Buckeyes still haven�t allowed a 100-yard rusher. Anymore, that�s a good month on the ground for Michigan. This is the kind of game where Braxton Miller might feel he needs to do too much, so it�s up to a staunch O-line to make sure he doesn�t get rattled.
Don�t settle for `threes�
Drew Basil kicked four field goals in last year�s 26-21 win, but that may not cut it on the road. Fortunately, the Buckeyes are one of the best in the country at turning drives into touchdowns. You don�t average 48.7 points by settling for 3. Of their 131 offensive series this season, the Buckeyes have scored TDs on 70 of them (.534). Only Florida State (71 of 132) has fared better (.538). OSU is also second to Baylor for fewest three-and-outs and has scored on 51 of 54 trips inside the red zone (.944), 45 of them TDs.
Coach: Urban Meyer 23-0 in second year
Passing: QB Braxton Miller 132-195-1,626 yds., .677 pct., 19 TD, 4 INT
Rushing: TB Carlos Hyde 138-1,064, 7.7 avg., 13 TD; Miller 116-738, 6.4 avg., 5 TD
Receiving: WR Philly Brown 49-596, 12.2 avg., 9 TD; WR Devin Smith 40-591, 14.8 avg., 7 TD; TE Jeff Heuerman 22-314, 14.3 avg., 2 TD
Defense: (Tackles) LB Ryan Shazier 108; (TFL) Shazier 19.5; (Sacks) DE Noah Spence (7.5); (FF) Shazier 4
Less �give� in give-and-take
Only Michigan State�s No. 1-ranked defense has come up with more takeways (24) than Michigan (23), whose 16 interceptions are second to Northwestern�s 18 picks. U-M�s problem is that it gives the ball right back. Devin Gardner has had trouble getting a handle on the quarterback position, to put it mildly, throwing 11 interceptions and fumbling at the worst times, like last week at Iowa with the Wolverines driving toward a winning TD. Michigan�s 19 turnovers has negated the fine ball-hawking work of its defense, resulting in only a plus-four turnover margin.
Attack the secondary
Michigan offensive coordinator Al Borges has been accused of being too bullheaded, constantly banging the head of his attack into a wall. It may not be the Michigan Way, but it shouldn�t be taken as a sign of weakness if the Wolverines abandon the running game from the get-go and keep pressure on OSU�s back seven through the air. The secondary has been better of late because of an improved pass rush, but lesser receivers than Michigan wideout Jeremy Gallon and tight end Devin Funchess have had success against the Buckeyes.
Coach: Brady Hoke 26-11 in third year
Passing: QB Devin Gardner 176-300-2,509 yds., .587 pct., 17 TD, 11 INT
Rushing: TB Fitz Toussaint 173-690, 3.4 avg., 11 TD
Receiving: WR Jermy Gallon 71-1,109, 15.6 avg., 8 TD; TE Devin Funchess 43-686, 16.0 avg., 5 TD
Defense: (Tackles) LB James Ross 81; (TFL) DE Frank Clark 12.0; (INT) CB Blake Countess 5
Peer through the snowflakes and there were signs last week against Indiana that everything and everyone is coming together for the Buckeyes. Urban Meyer praised Braxton Miller�s poise under some difficult condiions. Carlos Hyde had his sixth straight 100-yard game on the ground. Ryan Shazier looked like Chris Spielman with a career-high 20 tackles and was lauded for the disciplined routes he took to the ballcarrier. And the best sign of all was cornerback Bradley Roby emerging from a mostly season-long funk to make 10 solo tackles and break up three passes against what can be a potent Hoosier attack. Roby also blocked the third punt of his career, the kind of boost OSU needed on special teams heading into showdowns the next two weeks against those �team(s) up north.�
U-M has tried five different offensive line alignments,with no luck at masking the youth working alongside standout Taylor Lewan up front. The Wolverines had minus-48 and minus-21 yards rushing in back-to-back losses to Michigan State and Nebraska, primarily because of seven sacks in each game, part of a stretch of 19 sacks allowed in three games. They had a season-low 158 yards last week in blowing a 21-7 lead at halftime. At one point they were out-gained 177-6. Turnovers have killed Devin Gardner�s efficiency rating even though he�s averaging 228 yards through the air. Michigan doesn�t have a rusher ranked in the top 10 in the conference and leading rusher Fitz Toussaint is averaging only 3.4 yards per carry. The defense has been pretty good since a 29-6 loss to �little brother� Michigan State to begin the month, but it can�t go it alone. Maybe Monday�s rare morning practice will wake the team up.

Four and a half stars, really. I like this throw a lot. It's lightweight and cozy and the variegated fur is very pretty. Knocking it down a little for the price - for over $30 I would expect something a tiny bit more substantial. However, I'm also thinking about getting another one, so really, I might just be cheap. Probably, come to think of it.
I love this throw and my cats and dog love to cuddle up with the throw too (-: Make sure to wash in cold water with just a little soap and air dry in the dryer only for about 20 minutes - no heat or you will ruin the product. Very nice, especially for the price.
This throw is super soft and the colors are very close to picture...I love the color combination and the feel of this throw...Lightens up my brown leather sectional...
Love Love Love Something you would see in 5 star hotel or B&B
This was a gift and they called to say they love it!
The colors are very beautiful together. This color choice would go with practically any decor. Very well made & so soft & smooth! I have gotten several different color choices of these 'thro's' and this is my favorite! I haven't washed this one yet but I have washed the other colors and they wash cold and dry low very nicely. Still look like new & I have had them over a yr! If I were going to gift a blanket type throw to someone, this one looks & feels like you pd over $50 for it!
This is a very nice little throw that I keep over the back of the leather sofa. We use it to cuddle up in on cool nights. It is soft and welcoming, and well worth the inexpensive price tag.
I Just got it today and it is already washed, dried and on my bed. I followed the care instructions and it came out wonderfully soft with every hair in place. My daughter loved it when she saw it and said "Mommy it is sooo soft". My sister saw it because I sent her a picture of my bed ensemble via text. She wanted one so I am now buying her one for an early Birthday present. Great throw for the money. I didn't want to spend a lot since I have small children and a dog and a husband! lol These days you have to pick where you want to spend the big bucks.........shoes! ha ha
This throw washes like a dream and I put mine in the dryer it's super soft I can't get it away from my dog or husband looks like I have to order another!

Abraham Lincoln, then 47, came to Sterling to speak at a rally for presidential candidate, John C. Fremont.

In the morning he graciously thanked his host and left Sterling for a speaking engagement in Chicago and the rest is history! The home has been restored and its interior, furnishings, and facade reflect the time when Lincoln visited in the late 1850s.

Video TranscriptSIMILAR SPORT COULD B ARE THE SAME. ALLEGEDLY, IT HIT BACK YOUR SUMMER. THE MOMENT HE SAW A LAWSUIT FILED IN A CONNECTION WITH HIS SON THROWING THIS BASEBALL HELMET IN THE AIR, HE WAS DUMBFOUNDED. I THOUGHT IT WAS A YOKE AT FIRST. -- I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE AT FIRST. AND NOW? I THINK IT IS ABSURD. HIS 14-YEAR-OLD SON IS BEING SUED BY HIS FORMER LITTLE LEAGUE BASEBALL COACH, CHIROPRACTOR ALAN BECK, FOR WHAT THAT SAID THE BOY DID DURING A GAME. HIS SON WAS ON SECOND BASE IN THE LAST INNING WHEN HIS TEAMMATES HIT THE GAME-WINNING HIT. AS HIS SON CAMERON TO SCORE, THE DAD SAYS HE THREW HIS HELMET INTO THE AIR.

Injury-tested A's, Angels square off in series finale
The A's and Angels have been hit hard by injuries early in the season, but the clubs are moving in opposite directions.
The A's learned Wednesday that second baseman Scott Sizemore will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL in his left knee, the same injury that forced him to miss the entire 2012 campaign. Gold Glove outfielder Josh Reddick has missed the past two games with a sprained right wrist.
The Angels placed ace Jered Weaver on the 15-day disabled list on Tuesday with a fracture in his left elbow. Erick Aybar could join Weaver on the DL if the shortstop's ailing left heel does not improve. He missed Wednesday's game.
Unlike the Angels, though, Oakland has not been slowed by injuries. The A's have won seven in a row and will look to complete a three-game sweep of the Angels on Thursday in Anaheim.
Reddick could return to the lineup for the series finale. He took 40 swings off a tee before Wednesday's 11-5 win, and said he felt no pain in his wrist. Reddick will take batting practice on Thursday and could play for the first time since he suffered the injury in Houston on Sunday, when he crashed into the outfield wall.
"I thought it was going to be a lot worse than what I went through," Reddick said. "To be at this stage, just a few days after it happened, I'm quite happy. I don't think it'll be taking much longer."
The Angels have dropped three straight games and six of their past seven. They have the worst record in the American League.
But are injuries to blame for the Angels' slow start?
"We're all professionals, we've all dealt with injuries before," said catcher Chris Iannetta. "When someone goes down we have to help each other out. We're a team. We've got to play like a team. There's things that are character builders, they make you better in the long run. But as a team we have to fill in the gaps when some guys aren't able to play."
More than injuries, the Angels have been hurt by an inability to drive in runs. The Angels left 13 men on base in Wednesday's loss and went 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position. In eight games, they are hitting .120 with runners in scoring position (9-for-75), last in the Majors.
"For the most part we haven't hit our stride in that department," said manager Mike Scioscia.
Athletics: Griffin well rested for start
• Right-hander A.J. Griffin gets the ball in the series finale, six days after making his season debut. Griffin beat Seattle in that outing, going six innings and allowing two runs on seven hits with three strikeouts against two walks.
Griffin was successful last season when pitching on at least six days' rest, going 3-0 with a 2.88 ERA in four starts.
The second-year pro made one start against the Angels last year, tossing eight shutout innings on Sept. 12 in Anaheim to earn his sixth career victory.
• Second baseman Andy Parrino could draw his first start with the A's on Thursday. The switch-hitter was recalled from Triple-A Sacramento on Wednesday to take Sizemore's spot on the roster and entered Wednesday's game as a defensive replacement at shortstop in the eighth inning. He could get more playing time with left-hander Jason Vargas scheduled to start for the Angels.
"It's great to have the opportunity," Parrino said. "It's a great honor and privilege, and hopefully I can jump right in there and help the team any way possible."
Angels: Vargas looks to build on strong outing
Vargas will take the mound against the A's after an encouraging season debut against the Rangers on Friday, when he allowed one run on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings.
In 15 career appearances against Oakland, including 13 starts, Vargas is 5-5 with a 3.13 ERA. The left-hander has pitched well in Angel Stadium, compiling a 3-1 record and 2.27 ERA in seven career appearances. Thursday will be his first home start in Anaheim.
Vargas will pitch on five days' rest. He's 20-20 during his career with that amount of time off, compared to 17-21 when pitching on the normal four days' rest.
Worth noting
• Oakland outfielder Coco Crisp is 12-for-33 (.364) in his career against Vargas, with one home run, two doubles and three RBIs.
• The Angels were 3-6 in their first nine games of 2012, but finished the season 89-73.

REVIEW: Trance
Written and directed by Danny Boyle (director of 8-time Oscar winner "Slumdog Millionaire ") "Trance" is a visually stylish movie that begins as a typical heist flick with more twists and turns and ups and downs than a rollercoaster . It keeps you confused til the end, with clues sprinkled throughout. It left me in the exact state I was in after first viewing "Memento" and "Fight Club". You're gonna want to see this one again.
James McAlvoy is part of a fine art auction team who switches teams. He hooks up with criminals to steal a Goya painting that's worth millions. During the heist, he ends up with a strong blow to the head, leaving him with amnesia. He can't remember where he hid the prized art work. Even torture doesn't jar his memory. That's where hypnotist Rosario Dawson is brought in and the sexy, often nude, love triangle comes in. Vincent Cassel is the third part of this equation.
With Danny Boyle's trademark entrancing visuals, the complicated plot is equally mesmerizing, leaving you guessing til the very end.
This one's smart, sexy and rich . If it's a Danny Boyle movie, it's a must-see. He has a vision like no other and thrives on conquering new arenas.
3-and-a-half stars.

Nearing full strength, Marlins open play vs. Giants
San Francisco's Gaudin faces Miami's Koehler in start of four-game set
Slowly but surely, the Marlins are getting healthy and Mike Redmond's bunch is reaping the benefits.
Miami has amassed a 9-8 record over its last 17 contests, and the returns of Giancarlo Stanton, Logan Morrison and Nathan Eovaldi have helped the cause.
"I'm excited," the first-year skipper said. "For so long we played with a lot of guys injured, now we're getting those guys back. It was a little dicey those first few months, but at the same time I was still pleased with their effort. Over the last 10 days though, our confidence has really increased. You're seeing a lot of guys contribute. So like I've said, it's not how you start, it's how you finish. We still have a lot of season left but I'm happy with the confidence the guys are bringing to the ballpark every day."
The Marlins will face a daunting task this weekend when they travel to AT&T Park for a four-game set against the reigning champion Giants. Redmond is embracing this challenge, just as he did the struggle of playing at less than full strength for the season's first two months.
"Of course I wish we would've started the season with the guys we thought we'd have -- I'd be crazy to say no," Redmond said. "The first two months were tough but you got to see what guys are made of. The results have taken a while to show up but this is a fun team to watch."
The Giants are dealing with their own slew of injuries. Outfielder Angel Pagan, out since May 25 with a strained left hamstring, is slated to start a rehab assignment on Thursday. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval, battling a strained left foot, is scheduled to initiate a rehab assignment on Saturday. Shortstop Brandon Crawford is doubtful for Thursday's contest after he sprained his right index and middle fingers.
Marlins: Koehler seeking first win
• In search of his first career victory, Tom Koehler will take the hill on Thursday. He surrendered nine runs on eight hits over 4 2/3 innings against the Cardinals in his previous outing. This season, Koehler has compiled an 0-5 record and 5.09 ERA. Since joining the Marlins' rotation in mid-May, he has posted a 5.62 ERA and a 9.18 ERA in three June starts.
Giants: Gaudin to to the rubber
• The Marlins will tangle with Giants right-hander Chad Gaudin in Thursday's series opener by the Bay. Gaudin has compiled a 2-0 record and 4.24 ERA since joining the Giants' rotation at the start of the month. Overall, the 30-year-old is 2-1 with a 2.83 ERA.
Worth noting
• The Marlins and Giants have yet to square off this season. The Marlins claimed five of their seven meetings with San Francisco last year.

Bruce Horkey's Wood & Parts - Classic Life
Written by on December 1, 2009 Horkey's Wood & Parts, Inc.For as long as we can remember there has always been a copy of the first edition of Custom Classic Trucks shelved somewhere here in the office, but we're darned if we can find it now. Who knows, maybe the trash man snagged it and sold it on eBay, or perhaps the dog ate it. If our memory serves us well, Bruce Horkey and his company: Bruce Horkey's Wood & Parts, Inc., has been a valued advertiser since that very first issue. That said, we figured it was high time CCT readers got a good firsthand look at Bruce's family operation, and since nobody knows the story better than Bruce himself we'll use his words.
"After graduating tool and die school and a hitch in the U.S. Navy I started my working career in 1975 doing cabinet and furniture work. In my spare time, I built a hot rod '54 Ford F-100 and realized a need for replacement bed parts and accessories for the truck rod restoration hobby. By 1985 the truck parts portion of the business had grown to the point where we (my wife, Mari, and brother Ted) decided to go full time on building truck parts and phased out the cabinet portion of the business.
"Fulfilling a truck guys dream included purchasing an acreage near the rural southwestern Minnesota town of Windom. We initially built a 40x60-foot shop and over the years, have grown it to a 12,000-foot complex of specialty areas, enabling our crew to provide personal service to satisfy our customers."

Using EFT for Relationships
EFTs ability to transform personal relationships is remarkable.
Whether your love or marriage relationship is unsatisfying, or whether you're dealing with a difficult family or business relationship, EFT can help.
Below you'll find the stories of dozens of people who've tried EFT for relationships, and seen profound improvements.
We also warmly invite you to the ultimate EFT and relationship skills online course, Tapping Deep Intimacy.
This twelve-week online coaching program combines the best of EFT, neuroscience, and Energy Medicine to produce deep intimacy and lasting change.
Click on the image to the upper right for more information about Tapping Deep Intimacy.
When we're upset by what another person does or says, we usually focus on getting them to change. Yet, if you've ever tried to change someone else's behavior, you'll remember that the effort is rarely successful!
It often just compounds the problem.
EFT has you focus, first and foremost, on your own reactions. Perhaps you simmer with silent resentment when certain people speak. Perhaps you explode with loud anger when certain topics are mentioned.
The reason you're triggered is that the present situation reminds you of an early childhood experience. While the other person is the detonator, the dynamite is inside of you. EFT can help defuse the charge within. That gives you the gift of emotional freedom.
Though other people might not change, they can no longer keep you in emotional bondage to your bad feelings.
The other benefit of EFT is that relationships are systems. Each person in the relationship is part of the system. Families embody family systems; organizations have organizational cultures. These are energy structures in which people relate. When one person gains emotional freedom, having defused their inner triggers, it changes the energy pattern of the whole system.
So just changing yourself often produces change in others, even though you're not seeking to change them.
Take a look at the many inspiring stories below, and follow in the footsteps of those in the EFT community who've found that difficult relationships can become wonderful relationships with EFT! If you don't find what you need there, please post your question on our Families discussion group, take an EFT workshop, or contact one of our certified EFT practitioners.
Your Host,
Dawson Church, PhD
Best-selling Author of the Award-Winning Book The Genie in Your Genes.
"I received an EFT session from Dr Church to address a family dynamics issue which has plagued me for 30 years. Dr Church spent a lot of time with me, uncovering various layers of issues that came up. At the time it felt very powerful, but the power of it all became especially apparent to me in the months after. Since then, the dynamic has resolved for me in a profound manner. I am, at last, at peace, I am grateful to Dr Church, and to EFT."

1.2.1 A few notes about the building
The Stata Center can be a bit confusing as there are two towers: Gates and Dreyfoos. This workshop will be held in the Gates Tower, the entrance to which is on the corner of Vassar and Main Streets.
The building is on an automatic locking system. Doors to the elevator foyers on the 4th floor will be opened for the workshop but the stairwells automatically lock at 5pm (with the only unlocked exit door on the first floor).
Please be careful of your belongings even when stepping away even for a short while. The building is open to the public and there have, unfortunately, been thefts.

They note: "Because the number of visitor parking spaces on campus is limited, it may not be possible to accommodate every visitor who wishes to park at MIT.... We strongly recommend using public transportation when visiting the MIT campus." There is hourly on-street parking available around the Stata Center though Cambridge is a busy area and parking may be difficult to find, especially in inclement weather.

Horex unveils six-cylinder supercharged motorcycle
German brand Horex hasn't made a motorcycle for 50 years – but since a new ownership team took over the brand name in 2007, plans have been afoot to change that – and at this year's Intermot in Cologne, we got our first close-up look at what the new owners are playing at. The Horex VR6 is a modern super-naked featuring a staggered six-cylinder engine with forced induction via a belt-drive supercharger. The quick-revving motor will develop up to a meaty 200 horsepower, putting it right up with Yamaha's 2009 V-Max in the musclebike stakes. The new German bike's looks will draw inevitable comparison to Honda's recent CB1100F – and when you combine the looks with the premium pricetag, it's fair to say the Horex VR6 is targeted at cashed-up older riders who will appreciate the retro looks, the comfortable riding position and the seemingly limitless reserves of power that blown 1200cc powerplant is going to pump out. It's great to see forced induction back on the bike shopper's menu!

Lackey looks to continue solid run against Padres
Erlin makes third start for San Diego in Interleague opener
John Lackey's record may indicate that he's been a .500 pitcher this season, but over the last few weeks, he has been nothing short of a much-needed ace for the Red Sox.
Lackey will look to continue his stellar pitching of late when he takes the mound on Tuesday as the Red Sox welcome the Padres to Boston for a three-game Interleague set.
With Clay Buchholz on the disabled list and Jon Lester struggling, Lackey has re-emerged as a top-end starter. He has turned in three consecutive seven-inning outings in which he has allowed just two runs in each, lowering his season ERA to 2.99.
In his most recent start last Wednesday against the Rockies, Lackey matched a career-best with 12 strikeouts. He had reached that mark only one time prior, doing so as a member of the Angels on Sept. 21, 2008.
"That's the Lackey of old," Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino said. "I remember playing against him and facing that guy, and he was dominant. That's what he showed [in his last start]. Twelve strikeouts and going out there and doing what he is doing, going deep into the ballgames. His velocity is back, too. I think that's what makes it important."
While the Red Sox veteran looks to keep dealing, the Padres have cooled off lately. They enter Tuesday's game having lost three games in a row to the Marlins and seven of their last nine.
The Padres will lean on rookie Robbie Erlin to help them rebound. After being called up to make his first start on June 1 following a pair of relief appearances earlier in the season, Erlin went back to the Minors before returning last Wednesday for another spot start. Ranked the club's No. 8 overall prospect, Erlin turned in his second quality start in as many tries, limiting the Phillies to three runs (two earned) on four hits over 6 1/3 innings.
The 22-year-old southpaw gave up a pair of runs over the first two innings before settling in and showing flashes of his potential the rest of the way. At one point, Erlin retired 10 consecutive batters, including five via strikeout.
"He got some balls up early in the game, but settled down," Padres manager Bud Black said. "It was a matter of dialing in his fastball. That's a good, experienced lineup over there. He did a great job. I'm very proud of Robbie. He pitched with the fastball, both sides of the plate."
Padres: Cabrera nearing return
Speedy shortstop Everth Cabrera is on the verge of rejoining the Padres and could do so as soon as later this week in Boston.
Cabrera will begin a rehab assignment with Class A Fort Wayne on Tuesday, and is expected to play games on Tuesday and Wednesday. If all goes well, he could be activated as early as Thursday.
However, Black said it's unlikely that Cabrera would start that day's game against the Red Sox because of traveling and an early first pitch, which is set for 10:35 a.m. PT.
"We could activate him if we wanted," Black said. "We'll see. That's granted if he comes out of Tuesday and Wednesday fine."
Red Sox: Farrell not concerned with lack of homers
In somewhat unusual fashion, the Red Sox have scored more runs than any team in the Majors, despite finding themselves in the middle of the American League pack when it comes to home runs. Part of that is offset by the fact that Boston also leads the big leagues in doubles.
Aside from David Ortiz's 16 round trippers, the only other Red Sox player with double-digit homers is Daniel Nava with 10. Manager John Farrell admitted that it would be ideal to have more home run potential in the lineup, though he is confident his club will continue to score runs at a high rate.
"Let's face it -- the more 20-plus home run guys you have, probably the better. But I also look at the number of doubles we hit," Farrell said. "This is a team that, up and down the lineup, doubles are capable. If you generate runs by virtue of home runs or by combining a very deep lineup, still, the total runs scored are the most important.
"Across the board, our home run totals, to me, are made up by the extra-base capability in other ways."
Worth noting
• Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin is 8-for-13 [.615] with four home runs and seven RBIs in his career against Lackey.
• The Padres are one of five teams Lackey has never recorded a win against. He took the loss while allowing five runs off four hits and four walks over 3 1/3 innings in his only career start against San Diego on June 22, 2011.
• This marks just the fifth series between Boston and San Diego, with the Red Sox leading the all-time series, 7-5.
