MINNEAPOLIS -- The Boston Red Sox acquired left-handed reliever Fernando Abad from the Minnesota Twins for minor league pitcher Pat Light.The deal was the first announced Monday before the non-waiver trade deadline, giving the Red Sox another veteran for the bullpen in their pursuit of Baltimore and Toronto in the AL East.Abad has a 2.65 ERA in 39 appearances for the Twins, his first season with the club. He is making $1.25 million this year and will be eligible for free agency after the 2017 season.The 30-year-old Abad has held opponents to a .220 batting average this year. He came up with Houston and also has pitched for Washington and Oakland.Red Sox president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski had been coy in recent weeks when asked about the necessity to improve his bullpen. Injuries to closer Craig Kimbrel (left knee surgery on July 11) and struggling setup man Koji Uehara (placed on disabled list with right pectoral strain on July 20) have hampered the Red Sox since the All-Star break.They are 8-8 over their last 16 games, and entering Monday only right-hander Brad Ziegler had an ERA under 3.00 among the healthy bodies in the bullpen.Abad has allowed only two home runs in 34 innings and held left-handed batters to a .458 on-base-plus-slugging percentage, the fifth-lowest mark in the American League among relievers who have faced at least 50 lefties. He has a 3.58 ERA in 297 career major league appearances.The Twins used Abads roster spot for right-hander Jose Berrios, who was scheduled to start Monday at Cleveland.The right-handed Light has a 2.32 ERA with 36 strikeouts in 31 innings for Triple-A Pawtucket. He made his major league debut April 26 and appeared in two games for Boston, allowing eight runs over 2 2/3 innings.Selected 37th overall in the 2012 amateur draft by the Red Sox, the 25-year-old Light was originally drafted in 2009 by the Twins but did not sign out of high school.

The offense didnt get going until the second quarter.Nevada (1-1) was no match for the 18th-ranked Fighting Irish once they got both sides going, overpowering the Wolf Pack 39-10 on Saturday. DeShone Kizer threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score, Josh Adams rushed for 106 yards on 10 carries and Notre Dames defense rebounded from a disappointing performance a week ago at Texas.Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly was pleased with the defensive effort.We needed some confidence, so that fourth down was definitely a confidence-builder for our defense. I think that gave us some momentum going into the next couple of drives, he said.Linebacker James Onwualu said it was a stop the Irish (1-1) desperately needed.We never had a drive where the defense had any momentum in the Texas game, he said.Defensive lineman Jarron Jones also set up a touchdown with an interception at the 8-yard line.Kizer was 15 of 18 for 156 yards with one interception and Equanimeous St. Brown led Irish receivers with six catches for 85 yards with Torii Hunter Jr. out with a concussion sustained against Texas.Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said Kizer showed more patience looking for receivers.The other thing is hes taking whats available to him instead of trying to do too much, Kelly said.Nevada coach Brian Polian, a former Notre Dame assistant under Charlie Weis, said he had no doubt about going for it on fourth down.Because field goals were not going to keep us in this game, he said.The Wolf Pack avoided the shutout when Wyatt Demps caught a 44-yard pass from Stewart in the third quarter to set up a 27-yard field goal by Brent Zuzo. Jaxson Kincaide added a 6-yard TD run against Notre Dames reserves late in the fourth quarter. Stewart was 10 of 23 passing for 113 yards and James Butler, who rushed for 1,342 yards llast season, was held to 50 yards on 17 carries.ddddddddddddI had a little bit of an off day and you cant afford to have those, Stewart said.BIG QUARTERThe Irish took control with a 25-point second quarter -- the most points in the quarter for Notre Dame since scoring 28 points against Pittsburgh in Weis debut as coach in 2005.KNUCKLEHEAD MISTAKESBoth teams struggled with mental errors, highlighted by a safety by Nevadas Ahki Muhammad being called for a safety when he caught a kickoff and carried it out of the end zone, then stepped back into the end zone and kneeled.There were some points in the game where, frankly, we made some knuckleheaded mistakes, Polian said.POLL IMPLICATIONSNOTRE DAME: The easy win over Nevada wont do much to help the Fighting Irish in The Associated Press poll, but it also wont hurt.THE TAKEAWAYNEVADA: The Wolf Pack, who lost to the Irish 35-0 in 2009, managed to avoid being shut out again, and picked up a $1 million guarantee.NOTRE DAME: The defensive performance should help allay the panic among Irish fans for at least a week after giving up 50 to Texas, but they wont truly feel good until Notre Dame shows it can slow a quality opponent.UP NEXTNEVADA: After barely beating FCS Cal Poly and being dominated by Notre Dame, the Wolf Pack will finally play another mid-major conference opponent next week in Buffalo (0-1), which is off this week, before returning to Indiana to play another Power Five foe in Purdue in two weeks.NOTRE DAME: Faces Michigan State, marking its first game against a Big Ten school since a 43-40 overtime loss to Northwestern on Nov. 15. 2014. Before last season the last time the Irish didnt play a school now in the Big Ten was 1914.---AP College Football Website: www.collegefootball.org---Follow Coyne on Twitter: www.twitter.com/TomCoyneAP ' ' '
