Sox gear up for possible playoff preview

For the third consecutive year, the Red Sox appear poised to reach the postseason. And for the third consecutive year, they appear to be on a collision course with the Angels.

The teams have met in the American League Division Series each of the past two seasons, with Boston prevailing both times, and would be a playoff pair once again this October had the regular season ended Sunday.

Until then, they’ll have to settle for a mid-September showdown at Fenway Park that kicks off on Tuesday night, when Daisuke Matsuzaka makes his long-awaited return from the disabled list opposite John Lackey.

In debut, Billy Wagner fans side in 8th

If that’s what Billy Wagner looks like 10 months after elbow surgery, it’s no wonder the National League didn’t mind seeing him go.

Wagner made his Red Sox [team stats] debut one to remember yesterday, striking out the side in the eighth inning by mixing his trademark 95 mph fastball with a devastating slider that undoubtedly had the rest of the American League saying, “Are you serious?”

Facing the heart of the Blue Jays order, Wagner struck out Aaron Hill and Vernon Wells on nasty sliders, and blew away Lyle Overbay with a 94 mph heater. He also allowed a double to Adam Lind, though it hardly detracted from the performance.

Ellsbury steals way to club record

The record stood for more than a quarter-century, but Jacoby Ellsbury decided before the 2009 season even started that it would be left in the dust by the end of the year.

And when the Red Sox’s speedy center fielder bolted for third and slid in safely in the bottom of the first inning on Tuesday night, the mission was officially accomplished.

It was Ellsbury’s 55th stolen base of the season, surpassing Tommy Harper’s club record set in 1973.

“It was definitely nice to do it here at home in front of the crowd,” said Ellsbury. “To set a goal at the beginning of the season and to accomplish it makes it that much more enjoyable.”

Big Papi has his power stroke working

Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz started his night off Wednesday by pulling a hanging curveball from Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay deep to right field, sending it over the Rogers Centre wall for a solo shot.

It was the Red Sox slugger’s third home run in as many contests — the first coming in Texas, the second two in Toronto — marking the first time since July 6-8, 2006, Ortiz has gone deep in three straight games.

Ortiz has also homered in four of his past five games.

Ortiz got out to a slow start this season, and he didn’t homer until May 20 — also against Toronto — hitting just .219 over that span.
