BOSTON -- The Red Sox are hoping to use their final series before the All-Star break to gain some ground on AL East-leading Baltimore.Some of their newest additions helped keep that goal intact in a series-opening win over the struggling Tampa Bay Rays.David Ortiz hit his 21st home run of the season, and recent call-up Bryce Brentz had two hits and broke a tie with an RBI single in the sixth to help the Red Sox beat the Rays 6-5 on Friday night.Aaron Hill, who was acquired in a trade with the Brewers Thursday, had two RBI hits in his Red Sox debut.The win was Bostons fourth in five games.Brentzs RBI came after he entered the game in the fourth inning for an injured Brock Holt. Holt left with a left ankle sprain after getting his leg caught underneath him on a slide while stealing second.Honestly, I was hoping he was OK. After that, its time to go to work, said Brentz, who was recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket on June 24 for his first major league stint since debuting in 2014. I just always try to come to the field every day ready. Unfortunately Brock had an incident, so hopefully he gets better. Luckily I was able to do something to help the team out.The Red Sox, who have had their share of injuries the past two months, left even more scuffed up.He was able to walk off the field under his own power, but did have a slight limp. X-rays were negative and he will be re-evaluated on Saturday. Holt just returned to action July 1 after missing 37 games with a concussion.Hanley Ramirez also limped his way through an eighth inning at-bat after fouling a ball off his left leg. He left the game with a left shin bruise and will get an MRI on Friday.Hill said the hits helped welcome him to Boston.It definitely made me forget that I got up at 4 a.m., thats for sure, he said. The electricity in this place is always solid. You always wonder on visiting side what its like over here and being able to get a taste of it is pretty neat.Robbie Ross, Jr. (1-1) got the victory for Boston. Koji Uehara picked up his third save.Red Sox starter Sean OSullivan had won in each of his previous three starts, but he allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings.Tampa Bays Chris Archer (4-12) took the loss, surrendering five runs and seven hits in six innings.Evan Longoria had four hits and a home run for the Rays, who have lost four straight and 20 of 23.Archer entered the night with a 9.50 ERA in the first inning this season -- the third-highest in the American League.He got off to another slow start Friday.A little bit more of the same, Rays manager Kevin Cash said. Tough for us to avoid those first-inning struggles right now. It drives Archs pitch count up a little bit, or a lot. I wish I had a better explanation for it; I dont. I dont think anybody really does.TRAINERS ROOMRays: OF Kevin Kiermaier (wrist) will go through another batting practice session Saturday, and could start a rehab assignment Monday or Tuesday.Red Sox: IF Travis Shaw remains day-to-day with a bruised left foot. X-rays on the foot were negative Thursday and he said the swelling has reduced significantly since he left Wednesdays win over the Rangers. Its got good color, but the swelling has gone down, he said.SOX ADD MARTINEZThe Red Sox sent cash to the Cleveland Indians for utilityman Michael Martinez on Friday.Martinez batted .283 with one home run and three RBI in 32 games for the Indians this season. He was designated for assignment July 2. A switch-hitter, he played all three outfield positions, second base and third base.Martinez, 33, has also played for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh over six major league seasons.UP NEXTRays: LHP Matt Moore (5-5, 4.54 ERA) is 3-1 over his last five starts with a 2.43 ERA over that span.

FIFA said Ethiopia forfeited its 2-1 win in Botswana on June 8 because Minyahile Beyene played in that game when he was suspended for receiving two yellow cards in earlier qualifiers. FIFA has awarded the match to Botswana 3-0. The sanction means Ethiopia is now only two points ahead of South Africa and three ahead of Botswana and not guaranteed a place in Africas final playoffs for the World Cup ahead of the final round of Group A games in September. FIFAs disciplinary committee also fined Ethiopias federation 6,000 Swiss francs ($6,348). The Ethiopian Football Federation is unlikely to appeal the punishment having already admitted thatt Minyahile should not have played in Botswana.dddddddddddd. Ethiopia beat South Africa 2-1 at home in its latest game on June 16 and thought then that it had qualified for the 10-team playoffs, which will decide Africas five countries at the World Cup in Brazil. Ethiopia has never played at the World Cup. However, FIFA opened disciplinary proceedings against Ethiopia on the same day over Minyahiles eligibility. South Africa, on eight points, is at home to Botswana in the final round of games on Sept. 6. Ethiopia, now on 10 points, faces an away game against Central African Republic, which could be played in a neutral country because of ongoing unrest in the country. Botswana, now with seven points, also has an outside chance of qualifying for the playoffs if it beats South Africa and Ethiopia loses to Central African Republic, which cannot qualify. ' ' '
