SEATTLE (AP) -- Boston Red Sox shortstop Nomar Garciaparra was
scratched from the lineup 30 minutes before Saturday's game against
the Seattle Mariners because of lower back spasms.
The problem was unrelated to a minor injury Garciaparra
sustained Friday night, when Willie Bloomquist's hard grounder
struck him in the right collarbone. He stayed in the game.
Garciaparra, a two-time AL batting champion, was hitting .320
with 22 home runs and 82 RBIs. He was listed as day-to-day.
