We've all seen how animated Boston Red Sox reliever Koji Uehara can be after a good outing on the mound when he comes into the dugout.

But what happens when you're not paying attention to his high-five. Well, if you're Shane Victorino, you get smacked in the face.

After falling last night, the Boston Red Sox look to avoid the sweep in the finale of a three-game set with the Chicago White Sox at U.S. Cellular Field on the south side of the Windy City.

First pitch is scheduled for 8:10 p.m. If you live in the Red Sox television market you can catch the game on NESN. If you live in the White Sox television market, you can catch the game on CSN Chicago. And if you can't catch the game on television, you can always listen on the 2013 Red Sox Radio Network.

Clay Buchholz looks to stay as the only undefeated Red Sox starter in his 10th start of 2013. In his previous nine starts, Buchholz is 6-0 with a 1.78 ERA. He picked up a no decision in his only start against them in 2012 after allowing a run in eight innings of work. He's made five career starts against the south siders and is 1-2 with a 5.02 ERA. Two of those starts have come at U.S. Cellular where he is 1-1 with a 4.91 ERA (6 ER/11 IP).

Hector Santiago steps in for Chris Sale, who was skipped due to shoulder soreness, to make his fifth start (13th appearance) of 2013. In his previous 12 appearances (four starts), Santiago is 1-2 with a 2.78 ERA. His lone appearance against the visiting nine came last season when allowed two runs in three innings and received a no decision.

It turns out that Enosch Wolf's arrest back in February has cost him his scholarship on the UConn Huskies Men's Basketball team.

Here's the release from UConn:

STORRS (May 21, 2013) — Junior Enosch Wolf’s suspension from the University of Connecticut men’s basketball program has ended and he is eligible to return to the team for the 2013-14 season as a non-scholarship player.

Wolf, a 7-1 center from Goettingen, Germany, played in 22 games for the Huskies last season, starting three, and averaged 3.4 points and 3.4 rebounds, while shooting 59.0 percent, in 13.7 minutes per game. His highest-scoring games of the season were 12-point efforts against Wake Forest and North Carolina State.

Wolf had been suspended from the program on Feb. 11, 2013, and he did not participate in the final eight games of the season.

Wolf returned to his home in Germany following the end of the second semester and is expected to make his decision about coming back for his senior year within the next few weeks.
