Barks and Bites: Former Sox minor league manager Gabe Kapler goes 1-for-5 with an RBI for the Brewers batting out of the 2-hole. Riske solid in relief, Howry not so much. Gabe fans read also: "Kapler's actions earn respect" from the Journal Sentinel. Renteria goes 3-for-4 for Tigers. Arroyo shaky, Brandon Lyon, too. Poor Pedro. Blown save for Cla. Bradford's got more Q&A with Big Schill. The Track has more on Brian McNamee and his eBay offerings. Theeee Yankees lose. And MLB wants to talk to Canseco. More love for Lobel. Don't forget: UMass Minutemen face Ohio State in NIT Championship at MSG at 7 p.m. Speaking of hoops, these guys are threatening to get on the Boston sports radar one of these days.
