BOSTON -- Pitching, patience and the Atlanta Braves are bringing the Boston Red Sox back from their longest losing streak in 20 years. Nelson Semedo Barcelona Jersey . The defending World Series champions hope that three straight wins after 10 consecutive losses are just the start of their resurgence. John Lackey pitched neatly into the seventh inning and the Red Sox beat the Braves for the third straight day, 4-0 Wednesday night. "Were not looking too far ahead," Lackey said. "You cant make up 10 games in one day. Youve just got to keep grinding at it." On Tuesday night, the Red Sox won 6-3 in Atlanta as Jon Lester allowed three runs in six innings and broke a two-game personal losing streak. Lackey (6-3) got his turn and kept his stingy season going, giving up eight hits and no walks while striking out nine in 6 1-3 innings. He has permitted two runs or less in eight of his 12 starts. "Im going out there and trying to compete, trying to pitch the best I could every five days, regardless of whats going on," Lackey said. "As a starter, you only get 30-something chances a year, so youve got to respect those and take full advantage of them." The Red Sox honoured Manny Ramirez, Pedro Martinez, Curt Schilling and other members of their 2004 World Series championship team before the game then put on another winning performance at Fenway Park. Jackie Bradley Jr., A.J. Pierzynski and Jonny Gomes each had had two hits and an RBI as the Red Sox extended their mastery over the Braves. Boston is 18-6 since 2005 against Atlanta. Lackeys performance, "on the heels of what weve come off of (was) much needed," Boston manager John Farrell said. "When you look at the last two nights, both John Lackey and Jon Lester have done an excellent job of getting deep in the game." Lackey combined with three relievers for Bostons first shutout of the season. He allowed more than one runner in just two innings and just one past second. "If you throw strikes, you have a tendency to get any hitters aggressive and you can expand" the strike zone, Atlanta manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We got nine hits, left all kinds of people on base. We just couldnt get that next one." Gavin Floyd (0-2) gave up two runs in five innings and took his first career loss against the Red Sox after seven wins. He is 3-1 at Fenway Park. Boston went ahead 1-0 in the second inning when Gomes led off with a single and kept going to second on a throwing error by shortstop Ramiro Pena. "You just have to look past those things when those things happen and hope things will turn around," Floyd said. They didnt. Gomes took third on a wild pitch before Grady Sizemore walked, and scored when Daniel Nava grounded into a double play. The Red Sox added a run in the third on a double by Xander Bogaerts, one of his three hits, and singles by David Ortiz and Pierzynski. Boston made it 3-0 in the sixth against Alex Wood when Gomes walked, took second on a single by Sizemore and scored on a double by Bradley. In Tuesday nights win, Bradley hit a two-run single in a four-run seventh when Boston took the lead. The Red Sox reached Wood for another run in the seventh on an RBI single by Gomes. In each of his first six innings, Lackey had at least one strikeout and didnt allow a runner past second. He retired the first hitter in the seventh then allowed singles to Tommy La Stella and Pena that put runners at first and third. Lackey left after throwing 105 pitches. Chris Capuano retired Jason Heyward on a groundout as the runners advanced to second and third. Heywards bat broke and Capuano fell on his back as he just avoided being hit by a broke piece. Capuano walked B.J. Upton, loading the bases, before getting Freddie Freeman to end the threat with a grounder. Junichi Tazawa and Craig Breslow completed the victory with one scoreless inning each. NOTES: More than 30 members of the 2004 Red Sox attended the pregame ceremony. ... Atlanta C Evan Gattis returned to the starting lineup after missing Tuesday nights loss when he strained his right wrist during batting practice. ... Braves SS Andrelton Simmons missed the game after leaving Tuesday nights loss with an inflamed right ankle. ... Atlanta 2B La Stella made his major league debut by going 2 for 4. ... Bostons Jake Peavy (1-2) pitches the finale of the two-game series against Mike Minor (2-3) on Thursday night. Philippe Coutinho Jersey . Sweeting scored two in the first and three in the second before Strong (4-4) got two back in the fourth. Sweeting then scored three in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the seventh to grab a commanding 9-2 lead. Andre Gomes Barcelona Jersey . On Wednesday night, they showed that stellar defence and a little small ball can get the job done too. With pinch-runner Kevin Pillar aboard after Dioner Navarro opened the bottom of the ninth with a single, Anthony Gose dropped down an excellent bunt along the first-base line. http://www.barcelonateampro.com/jordi-alba-fc-barcelona-jersey/ . Of course that doesnt mean hes ignoring it. Thats actually rather impossible given the behind-the-scenes access to the Toronto Maple Leafs the network is getting.Manchester United entertain Bournemouth in their rearranged final-day fixture on Tuesday night, live on Sky Sports 1, with fifth place in the Premier League up for grabs. The original game on Sunday afternoon was abandoned after a suspect package was found in the Old Trafford toilets.Greater Manchester Police subsequently confirmed the device described as a life-like bomb was accidentally left by a private company at the stadium following a training exercise held last Wednesday. United are currently sixth, level on points with fifth-placed Southampton, and only an unlikely 19-goal swing against the Cherries will result in Louis van Gaals side overtaking Manchester City into fourth place after their 1-1 draw with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday.Either way, United - who take on Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final on Saturday - have already qualified for next seasons Europa League regardless of what happens against Bournemouth on Tuesday. Wayne Rooney will be wanting to end the season by helping Man Utd to a fifth-place finish with victory over Bournemouth at Old Trafford Bournemouth, meanwhile, have exceeded expectations following their promotion from the Championship and a draw at Old Trafford will see Eddie Howes team finish 15th. A victory, unless it is by ten goals or more, would earn them a place higher.When you look at the size of the clubs that have gone down, their history, their fan base, the size of the grounds, it does bring home the size of the achievement that our players have done, said Howe.Team newsUnited are expected to be without Matteo Darmian again due to an ankle injury while Marouane Fellaini is serving the final game of his three-match suspension.Luke Shaw and Bastian Schweinsteiger remain out through injury. Eddie Howe wants Bournemouth to improve their home form next season Howe has no fresh injury or suspension worries. Adam Smith is unavailable due to a groin injury which forced him off in the 4-0 defeat to City at the beginniing of April. Sergio Busquets Barcelona Jersey. Sylvain Distin (back), Tyrone Mings (knee) and Tokelo Rantie (muscular injury) remain long-term injuries.Opta statsUnited have conceded fewer goals than any other team in the Premier League on home soil this season (eight).Bournemouth have lost just three of their last 12 Premier League away matches (W5 D4 L3). Mata: Alert shocked us Manchester United midfielder Juan Mata has revealed the players were shocked by the security alert Bournemouth have visited Old Trafford four times in all competitions, losing all four without scoring.Wayne Rooney has scored just seven Premier League goals this season; he has never before failed to reach double-figures in a top-flight campaign with United.The Red Devils have netted just 46 top-flight goals this season; their lowest goal tally in a completed Premier League campaign is 58 in 04/05.United have won just 18 league games this season. If they dont beat Bournemouth, theyll set a new club record for fewest wins in a full Premier League season (current record is 19 in 13/14).Mersons predictionUnited need to win. They were really poor against West Ham, but I think they will get the three points. Bournemouth have had a great season but they have not been that good lately and United must win and hope Swansea do them a favour.PAUL PREDICTS: 2-1 (15/2 with Sky Bet) The original match between Manchester United and Bournemouth was abandoned after the discovery of a suspect package at Old Trafford BettingUnited are Sky Bets odds-on favourites for the victory on Tuesday night, with Bournemouth up against odds of 17/4 to complete the double over Van Gaals men, while a draw is priced at 16/5.Marcus Rashford is Sky Bets 3/1 favourite to score first as he looks to continue to impress England boss Roy Hodgson, while Callum Wilson is considered the visitors biggest threat at 10/1 to break the deadlock.Sky Bet are enhancing the odds on the in-form Anthony Martial to score in a United win from 6/4 to 2/1 in their pre-match Price Boosts.
