Notebook
Red Sox likely to beat sellout mark


Associated Press

David Ortiz remembers visiting Fenway Park with Minnesota and seeing empty seats.

''The only sellout was when Pedro was pitching,'' he said.

''Otherwise, it was a regular crowd.''

Pedro Martinez is long gone from the Boston Red Sox, but the sellout streak that started in a game he pitched figures to continue for a long time.

Boston's regular-season sellout streak, which began on May 15, 2003, is slated to reach a major-league record 456 when the Red Sox host the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night. On Wednesday, the Red Sox tied the record set by the Indians at Jacobs Field from June 12, 1995, to April 2, 2001, a run that ended on a 42-degree day with a 7-4 loss to the Chicago White Sox.

Fenway Park has the fewest seats in the major leagues, with a capacity of 37,400 for night games and 36,984 for day games.

During the streak, 16,298,532 fans streamed into Fenway.

Win in jeopardy

Chicago Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano has right rotator cuff tendinitis and inflammation, an MRI confirmed, a blow to Chicago's chances of winning the World Series for the first time in a century.

Zambrano received a shot of anti-inflammatory medication and hopes to return to the rotation next week.

Former player dies

Todd Cruz, an infielder with the 1983 world champion Baltimore Orioles, has died. He was 52.

 

Cruz died Tuesday while swimming at the apartment complex in which he lived in Bullhead City, Ariz. The cause of death is pending results of an autopsy conducted by the Mohave County Medical Examiner's Office.

Coach suspended

Philadelphia Phillies third-base coach Steve Smith was suspended for two games and fined because of an argument with umpires during a game in Chicago last week.

Around the bases

New York Yankees right fielder Bobby Abreu was removed from the starting lineup for Thursday night's game against Tampa Bay due to a sore left wrist. . . . Cincinnati Reds right-hander Josh Fogg left after three innings because he strained his groin while scoring on a sacrifice fly.
