Buchholz in the second

Eventful.

That's the best way to describe Buchholz in the second inning.

He allowed three runs (two earned) on four hits, including a home run, a balk and the PawSox made an error behind him. The homer by Ottawa's Randy Ruiz was a blast to dead center field and off the wall, some 410 feet from home plate.

Two of the four hits were bleeders to the opposite field, and PawSox pitching coach Mike Griffin has already made a trip to the mound.

Buchholz threw 22 pitches (16 for strikes).
