BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox are still looking for a position for Brock Holt. Jack Johnson Jersey . The versatile rookie has made the search difficult by playing well wherever the club has put him. Holt made his first professional start in centre field and he appeared perfectly comfortable in his fifth position this season. He made a sensational diving catch to end the third inning and scored both Boston runs in the Red Soxs 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins 2-1 on Tuesday night. "It seems like Brock at some point in each game has an effect on whats going on," said Jon Lester, who weathered a shaky start and pitched six-plus strong innings. "Im sure well see him with catchers gear or on the mound at some point this year. The guys done an unbelievable job." Holt ended the third inning with a diving catch on a ball that left fielder Jonny Gomes lost in the twilight. Gomes signalled with his hands that he couldnt see it, but Holt was already on the move and lunged just in time to complete the catch. "Fortunately I was able to get over there and make a play," Holt said. Boston fans gave him a long ovation during his entire trot to the dugout, and teammates waited with high-fives and pats on the back on the way. Holt happened to be up next and led off with a double off the Green Monster, stole third and scored on a sacrifice fly to put the Red Sox up 2-0. "He comes out of nowhere and makes a diving catch. In a way, he took over the inning," Boston manager John Farrell said. "He doesnt get hung up on moving to a position for the first time. He goes out and plays." Holt scored Bostons first run after he singled and then came in on an RBI double by Dustin Pedroia. Lester (8-7) needed 33 pitches to get out of the first inning on a hot, muggy night, then settled down and took a shutout into the sixth. He left with one out in the seventh after striking out six and holding the Twins to one run, four hits and a walk. Edward Mujica pitched the ninth and earned his second save. Phil Hughes (7-3) took the loss for the Twins, who have dropped four straight. The Red Sox have held Minnesota to one run and seven hits in the first two games of the series. Hughes gave up two runs and eight hits in eight innings and struck out six. "He did all he could do. He gave us a great opportunity to win. We just couldnt come up with enough big hits," manager Ron Gardenhire said. After Danny Santana opened the game with a single,, Lester retired 13 of the next 14 batters and didnt allow another hit until Kurt Suzuki singled with one out in the fifth. Minnesota cut it to 2-1 in the sixth when Santana led off with a double, moved to third on a bunt by Brian Dozier, and scored on Joe Mauers double. "We need to knock in some runs," Gardenhire said. "We need more of them." Pedroia nearly broke open the game on a fly ball to left that was inches short of a two-run homer. Instead, it was a single, and Pedroia was caught in a rundown. The play was reviewed for several minutes, and the call on the field stood.

The 27-year-old lightweight from Montreal spent much of his 10-week training camp for American Myles (Fury) Jury working with UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre. The two have trained before but the busy St-Pierrre was in Montreal for an extended period of time -- "which is rare," according to Ricci -- that dovetailed with Riccis camp. "He has been my main sparring partner for this fight," Ricci said. "Ive done most of my rounds this training camp with him." Not surprisingly, Ricci (9-3) lost most of those rounds against the bigger man, and a champion to boot. But the 155-pounder says he began to steal the odd one. "It feels good when youre working and working and you win small battles here and there against guys like that," he said. "You know youve been improving." Light-heavyweight title-holder Jon (Bones) Jones takes on Swedens Alexander (The Mauler) Gustafsson in Saturdays main event at the Air Canada Centre. Ricci is one of seven Canadians on the undercard. Francis Carmont, a French middleweight who fights out of Montreal, is on the main card. Ricci also trains with welterweight Rory (Ares) MacDonald, a close friend, at Montreals Tristar Gym. Like GSP, MacDonald is preparing for a fight at UFC 167 in November. St-Pierre takes on No. 1 contender Johny (Bigg Rigg) Hendricks in the main event at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas while No. 3 MacDonald faces No. 8 (Ruthless) Robbie Lawler. Ricci says St-Pierre is more than generous with his time in the gym. "Its unreal. If Georges wanted to, he could just do his own thing and then leave," said Ricci. "But he stays and he puts in work with guys. Not only just me because I have a fight coming up, hell work with everybody. "You could even see this guy maybe even developing into a great coach one day. He stays, he puts in the work and he puts in the time and he explains things. And he gets to the bottom of them. Ill do a round with him and then after hell be like OK we have to work on this when sparrings over. Its great to have him as a training partner. And I havent had him around this much and working with me this much in a while. It was a very good experience." Fighting as a welterweight, Ricci lost last December to Colton Smith in the final of Season 16 of "The Ultimate Fighter." He bounced back at UFC 158 in March to defeat Colin (The Freakshow) Fletcher, a finalists in the Australia versus U.K. TUF spinoff. It was a doominant win, albeit one that was less than stirring in terms of entertainment. Custom Columbus Blue Jackets Jerseys. But it was a memorable night for Ricci, coming in front of a hometown crowd. He walked out to the Phil Collins song "In the Air Tonight," explaining later that the story said it all. "I have been waiting for this moment all my life," he said later, quoting the song. "I grew up wanting to win in the Octagon and Ive spent six years on a road of blood and sweat to make sure I got here. "I had some UFC jitters, but I spoke with GSP two days ago and he said Listen, get used to them because they never, ever go away so I was nervous but I expected to be going in. Winning a UFC fight means everything to me." Ricci walked out to the cage in traditional martial arts garb, complete with a sword. He says his goal in the Fletcher fight was simply the win. "I felt like my position (in the UFC) wasnt as secure as Id like it to be ... I came back down to my weight class and I just felt it was the fight I had to win. "You get into those fights where you know you can win them if you do as youre supposed to do," he added. "You know you will 100 per cent win and I knew that I would 100 per cent beat Fletcher if I stuck to a game plan. "But I wasnt 100 per cent sure if I would finish him with that game plan. But the win to me was more important. So I went down that road. ... I hit him plenty of times. Could I have hit him more? Yes. Could I have been more aggressive? Yes. But I did what I had to to win and stay safe. I feel like my position is more solidified now" Thats good because the 24-year-old Jury represents a step up. Jury (12-0) has won all three of his UFC fights since appearing on Season 15 of "The Ultimate Fighter." He was on Season 13 initially but had to leave through injury. Ricci says he chose Jury over two other opponents. "Easier fights, to be honest with you," Ricci said. "This is the fight that I wanted. This is what felt like it was supposed to happen to me." Jury is not short of confidence, judging from the bio on his website (www.teamfury.com). "At just 24 years old, Jury is what the experts refer to as the new breed of the sport; a hybrid fighter, well versed in all aspects of the demanding game," the bio reads. "And, when you combine the baby- faced looks of a Hollywood actor with the ferocity and tenacity of a young Mike Tyson, youre left with a dangerous concoction of a modern day warrior with tunnel vision, glaring all the way to the top."
