BOSTON -- Clay Buchholz takes another stab at trying to find the form that made him a two-time All-Star when he faces the Los Angeles Angels in the second game of a three-game series Saturday night.Hector Santiago starts for the last-place Angels, who come in with 10 losses in their last 11 games after falling 5-4 at Fenway Park on Friday night.Exiled to the bullpen last month, Buchholz returned to the rotation because the team had no one else to start in his place -- and he showed decent stuff out of the pen. In two starts since returning, he is 0-2, having allowed eight runs (seven earned) and 11 hits in 10 1/3 innings.In both cases, the first inning was the problem for Buchholz (3-8, 5.90 ERA). The first start opened with a home run, a double and two runs in the first. Last Sunday at Texas, the first six batters reached, five on hits, in a three-run first.Theres been an inning inside of each game where its probably proved to be the difference, Boston manager John Farrell said before Friday nights series opener. Hell settle in for a stretch of innings, a consecutive number of at-bats where hes been very effective, but the ability to go out and execute from Pitch 1 is (of) utmost importance.Buchholz is 6-4 with a 4.83 in 12 career starts against the Angels, who have hit .285 against him over the years. Albert Pujols is 6-for-15 with a home run and Mike Trout 6-for-16 with two homers.Santiago (4-4, 5.27 ERA) won just one of his past eight starts, but he has pitched well in two of the last three. After allowing just five hits and two runs in 12 1/3 innings over his previous two starts, he gave up six runs in seven hits in six innings against the Oakland Athletics his last time out -- Santiago getting a no-decision Sunday in a game the Angels won 7-6.He is 1/3 with a 3.56 ERA in six career games, five starts, against the Red Sox. He is 0-2 with a 6.08 ERA in three appearances, two starts, at Fenway Park. Santiago started twice against Boston last season, going 1-1 with a 3.09 ERA.He has only allowed one home run in 30 1/3 career innings against Boston, and none of the current Red Sox hitters have taken him deep. Xander Bogaerts is 5-for-8, but Mookie Betts is 0-for-6, Hanley Ramirez 1-for-9 and David Ortiz 3-for-11.Santiago tied for the American League lead by allowing 29 home runs last season, and he yielded his 16th and 17th of this season, including a grand slam by Coco Crisp, in his last start, an outing that saw him walk four and throw 116 pitches in his six innings.My stuff was great besides the four walks, Santiago said after that game. Some of the guys I walked are usually aggressive and swinging at those pitches, but all-around I thought it was a good game. It was one bad pitch. ... Take away one pitch (the slam) from the day, and its a completely different game.The turn of the calendar could be a good thing for Santiago, who is 27-32 with a 3.79 ERA lifetime but 6-2 with a 2.67 in the month of July.

Even before her oar touches the water in the single sculls at the 2016 Olympic Games, Kim Brennan has created history. The current world champion heads into the event as the favourite -- a first for Australia in womens rowing.However, in spite of her current international standing and on the back of a silver medal in the double sculls and a bronze in the single sculls at London 2012 (as Kim Crow), she remains modest and calmly focused on the weeks ahead.While acknowledging that the Olympic Games are the pinnacle for her sport, Brennan says only she will know if she has completed the perfect race, and no medal or public acclaim will change that.To be honest, public attention is not one of the reasons I row, Brennan tells ESPN. I love the purity of my sport, and if one day I race a perfect race, the innate satisfaction to me would be completely unchanged by whether anyone else was there to see it.Brennan must be a particularly hard self-marker. Her performance in France 2015 that won her the world championship in her event looked to be pretty close to perfection and put her firmly in the frame as the one to beat -- another point she dismisses, even though shes unbeaten since 2014.For me, it is irrelevant who is the favourite, she says. All rowers in the race start at the same point, and the winner will be the one who does the best job in that particular race. All I focus on is doing my best possible job in that particular race. Nothing else matters.Striving for perfection seems to be part of Brennans DNA.With a father (Max) who ran out 188 times for Essendon, St Kilda and Footscray in the AFL/VFL, mother (Susan) who has a successful history in sports administration, and a brother (Justin) who is a high-performance manager at Essendon, Kim was perhaps always destined for great things.She graduated from Melbourne University as Dux of her year, which is equivalent to being Valedictorian. Brennan earned a double degree in media/communications and law with first-class honours that were accompanied by success on the athletics track, where stress fractures put an end to her future as a hurdler.Brennan hasnt looked back ever since coaches at the Victorian Institute of Sport invited her to try rowwing.dddddddddddd What makes her inspirational, though, is her ability to juggle a multi-faceted life with aplomb.Aside from spending considerable time on the water honing her craft, she is chair of the Australian Olympic Committees Athletes Commission.Explaining what drives her out of the water, she says she is passionate about encouraging young people to live fit and healthy lifestyles and enjoy working together in cohesive teams.Im also an ambassador for two programs: the Good Sports Program in Australia, which aims to reduce risky drinking and drug use in sporting clubs, and the Kafue River and Rowing Project,?which is a joint partnership between the Worldwide Fund for Nature and World Rowing to build a facility aimed at researching how to improve accessibility to clean water worldwide, Brennan says. Scott?(husband) and I are travelling to Kafue in Zambia after the Games to visit the site; were really excited!Kafue might be somewhat of a busmans holiday for?Scott?Brennan, who was a gold medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the mens double scull. The couple married in December 2015 and are yet to manage a honeymoon. While her husband is now a doctor in the emergency department at Canberra Hospital, his knowledge and achievements in the rowing sphere make him the perfect foil for his wifes complicated life.My husband is a wonderful support, and one of the things I am most proud of is how well he has done post-retirement, forging a new path in the medical world, Kim Brennan says.We are both busy people but love nothing more than taking our dog out for a walk or a play and enjoying each others company.First, though, theres a big regatta in store for Kim Brennan. Despite the expectations of her country, in her own inimitable way, she is keeping what happens at Lagoa Rodrigo de Freitas in perspective.Racing is like being in a bubble, Kim says. I try not to think too much, but just concentrate on making the next stroke better than the one before; I very much focus on the process. The outcome is a bonus. Only I will know if Ive truly executed my perfect race. ' ' '
