Cheap Air Force 1 Outlet Canada . -- The Green Bay Packers have signed quarterback Graham Harrell to the active roster from the practice squad and placed tight end Andrew Quarless on injured reserve.ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Centre fielder Jackie Bradley had as much to do with saving a victory for the Boston Red Sox on Friday night as closer Koji Uehara did. Bradley, fighting an 0 for 27 slump, was put in for defence in the eighth inning by manager John Farrell and made two scintillating catches on the dead run to help preserve Allen Websters 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. "Hes such an impact defender. Weve seen it many times, and he had an impact in this game tonight just with two innings of defence," Farrell said. "The one thing that has never been shaken in his time here has been his defence. Hes a confident defender, and he feels like he can roll out of bed and run to a spot where a ball is eventually going to land. Thankfully, hes got that instinct because it showed up twice here tonight." Bradley raced toward short right-centre to prevent a leadoff single by Mike Trout leading off the eighth, then sprinted to the alley in right-centre and made a leaping grab of Howie Kendricks extra-base bid leading off the ninth. "It all happened so fast. I was just hoping the wall didnt stop me before I was able to get to it," Bradley said. "On the first play, Trout had two strikes on him -- but Im not playing in with that guy. I saw it right off the bat, so I just put my head down. It was much easier than the one to the wall because I could keep my eyes on it." Mike Napoli homered against former batterymate Jered Weaver and Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run double for the Red Sox.

The Angels fourth straight loss matched their loongest skid of the season and dropped them four games behind AL West-leading Oakland, following the Athletics 6-5 win over Minnesota.dddddddddddd. "Obviously, it could have gone a little better," Weaver said. "I really wanted to come in and throw a good game and it wasnt really the case. I was kind of battling the whole night. I couldnt make pitches. Thats all there is to it." Last Saturday at Fenway Park against the Yankees, Webster was staked to a 3-0 lead in the second inning before walking his first three batters in the third and giving up four runs en route to a 6-4 loss. "It was an encouraging outing for him," Farrell said. "He was much more under control tonight and showed the ability to make adjustments more readily than the last time out. Theres no denying his potential. We see it every time we put the ball in his hand." But Napoli, who caught Weaver during their first five seasons in the big leagues, helped make sure there wouldnt be a repeat of that scenario for Webster when he hit his 14th homer to left-centre with two out in the fifth. It was his third against Weaver.
