Boston Red Sox C Mike Napoli had a grand slam and drove in five runs Monday, April 22, and he has 25 RBIs and four home runs in his first 19 games with the team. "The last 10 days his swing has been so compact," manager John Farrell said. "We're 19 games into the season and he's got 25 RBIs, that's what we were hoping he'd be able to do." It was Napoli's fourth career grand slam.

Boston Red Sox SP Clay Buchholz (hamstring) threw 40 pitches over two simulated innings against C/1B Mike Napoli (hips) Tuesday, Feb. 26, and felt good. "It felt more comfortable. I've always felt comfortable since we've been throwing off a mound out of the windup," Buchholz said. "Out of the stretch, I started to find a balance point toward the end. I threw 10 extra pitches to get a good feel for it. The last 10 I threw, I was staying on line and able to get to a balance point without jumping to home plate. I felt really good there at the end."
