COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- No. 7 Texas A&M didnt do much celebrating after a 38-10 win over Rice on Saturday night. The Aggies improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2010, but werent overjoyed with the victory because they thought they could have played much better. "Guys werent very happy with how they played tonight," coach Kevin Sumlin said. "In the locker room our guys were ho hum and pretty hard on themselves ... and thats good." Kenny Hill threw for 300 yards and four touchdowns and Texas A&M overcame a slow start for the win. The Aggies led by 14 points at halftime, but struggled at times to sustain drives and committed several costly penalties, including one that resulted in a touchdown being called back, in the first half. They got going after halftime with Hill finding Josh Reynolds on a 20-yard touchdown on the first drive of the third quarter. A 1-yard touchdown run by Tra Carson pushed the lead to 35-10 later in the third. Hill also had TD passes of 14, 13 and 48 yards and has 1,094 yards passing this season to become the first player in school history to throw for 1,000 yards in the first three games of a season. "We started off slow," Hill said. "We never want to start it off slow. We are going to work on that and fix that and be better next week." Driphus Jackson threw for 212 yards and a touchdown and ran for 84 yards for Rice (0-2). There was heavy rain in College Station on Friday night and there were a number of divots on the grass field. Rice coach David Bailiff went on the field near some of them at the start of halftime and talked to several people for a couple of minutes before going into the locker room. Members of the grounds crew ran onto the field during many of the stops in play in the second half to fill the holes. At one point in the third quarter there were 10 people spread across the field working on it. "I thought Eric Hyman their athletic director ... their grounds crew did about as good a job as anybody could do keeping up with that," Bailiff said. "They kept the surface safe for the football team and thats what its all about." The field was just installed last month because of renovations to Kyle Field. "Kyle Field is a new field and its a pretty bad field," Texas A&M defensive end Julien Obioha said. "I slipped because the field would give out." Reynolds had just two catches but they were both for touchdowns and he finished with 68 yards receiving. Hill had a nifty run to set up Carsons score in the third quarter. He zig-zagged his way around several Rice defenders before being tripped up from behind at the 1. The play was initially ruled a touchdown, but it was reviewed and overturned. Hill was replaced by freshman Kyle Allen with about five minutes remaining. Allen threw an interception to end his only drive. Texas A&M freshman Myles Garrett had 2 1/2 sacks to give him 5 1/2 this season, which is a school-record for a freshman. The Owls dominated the time of possession at more than 43 minutes, but would often come up empty after long drives. "We just have to finish the drive," Jackson said. "Its a little disappointing to be out there for 43 minutes and only put up 10 points." James Hairston made a 33-yard field goal with less than a minute left in the third quarter for Rice. A career-best 47-yard field goal by Josh Lambo pushed the lead to 38-10 early in the fourth quarter. A&M took a 7-0 lead in the first quarter when Speedy Noil grabbed a 14-yard pass for his first career touchdown. Noil limped to the locker room in the third quarter with an unspecified injury and Sumlin wouldnt provide details on it after the game. The Aggies made it 14-0 on their next possession when Hill found Ricky Seals-Jones for a 13-yard touchdown pass. The Owls got within a touchdown when Jackson threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Mario Hull. Reynolds came back to get the ball and then juked Malcolm Hill to evade a tackle on his way to the end zone on a 48-yard touchdown reception that made it 21-7 with 3 1/2 minutes left in the first half. Hairston hit a 53-yard field goal seconds before halftime that would have made it 21-10, but A&M was flagged for having 12 men on the field and the Owls had to kick again. The second time it was blocked by Seals-Jones and Armani Watts returned it 93 yards for a touchdown. But those points would be taken away, too. There was an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the A&M bench and the would-be TD run became a 35-yard return. "Really bizarre ending to the first half," Sumlin said. Hairston also missed a 22-yard field goal attempt early in the first quarter.

The Red Sox scored a season-high in runs in a 10-3 victory over Cleveland on Friday night, one day after beating the Indians 5-2. Not bad for a team that had totalled just one run at Baltimore in the last three games of its road trip. "The thing that stands out is we answered every time they scored," Boston manager John Farrell said. "Thats two nights in a row now and thats very encouraging." A.J. Pierzynski, Mike Napoli and Dustin Pedroia hit two-run doubles, Xander Bogaerts hit a solo homer and John Lackey (8-4) allowed three runs or less for the ninth time in his last 10 starts. "Tonight was more about the offence more than anything," Lackey said. "The guys really swung the bats great, made a couple of great defensive plays for me, just a good team win." The Red Sox (31-36) entered the game with the fourth-lowest batting average in the AL and have been on a roller coaster ride, losing 10 straight, winning seven in a row and then losing five consecutive games before winning four of their last six. "Weve been able to ride some of the peaks and valleys here," Farrell said, "but theres a number of guys that are relaxed in the (batters) box right now." Cleveland is on its own streak, losing four straight. Justin Masterson (4-5) had his shortest stint of the season -- two innings plus two walks in the third -- 11 days after he had a season-high 10 strikeouts in seven innings against Boston and beat Lackey 3-2. He walked the first two batters in the second. "I walked two guys on like eight pitches," Masterson said. "Its 3-3 at the time and its still a ball game. (Manager Terry Francona) doesnt see any positive adjustment coming out of me. Why wouldnt he take me out?" With a light rain falling, Lackey struggled early when he allowed three runs and six hits in three innings. "I heard some places have summer," Lackey joked. "Thats the rumour." But he gave up just one hit in his next 3 2-3 scoreless innings before bbeing replaced by Andrew Miller.dddddddddddd The Indians took a 2-0 lead in the second on Carlos Santanas eighth homer after a single by David Murphy. "Hes starting to take some more aggressive swings and stay in the middle of the field," Francona said of Santana, who began the night hitting .175. "If he gets hot, that will be great for us." The Red Sox went ahead with three runs in the bottom of the inning. Masterson walked David Ortiz and Napoli. Daniel Nava singled, but Ortiz was thrown out trying to score by centre fielder Michael Bourn. Pierzynski then doubled in two runs and Jackie Bradley Jr. singled in another. Cleveland tied it in the top of the third on consecutive doubles by Asdrubal Cabrera and Michael Brantley. But Masterson again walked the first two batters, Bogaerts and Pedroia, in the third and was replaced by Kyle Crockett. Napoli doubled both runners in, putting Boston on top 5-3. After Brantleys RBI double, Lackey retired 14 of the next 16 batters, allowing runners only on a walk and an error. Cabrera doubled with two outs in the seventh, ending Lackeys night. Miller ended the threat by retiring Brantley on a groundout. Boston tagged three relievers for four runs in the seventh. Bradley led off with a single, Brock Holt singled and both scored on Pedroias double. Ortiz was walked intentionally and Pedroia scored when Napoli singled to right and Murphy let the ball get away from him for an error. Nava then doubled in Ortiz, making it 9-3. Bogaerts hit his sixth homer in the eighth. NOTES: Boston RHP Clay Buchholzs rehab outing at Triple-A Pawtucket was postponed by rain.
