Ramirez Racks up another assist

Manny Ramirez certainly won't win a Gold Glove -- he had made seven errors heading into Sunday's game -- but he will wind up the season leading the American League and possibly the majors in outfield assists.

The Red Sox left fielder gunned down Derek Jeter trying for a double after slugging the first pitch of the game off the wall in left. That accounted for Ramirez's 17th assist of the season. Toronto's Vernon Wells and Kansas City's Terrence Long each had 12.

The Mets' Cliff Floyd was leading the National League, with 15.
