Mike Carp’s Bench Contributions Show That Red Sox Pulled Right Strings During Spring Training
BOSTON — Lyle Overbay, who lost out to Mike Carp in a positional battle during Red Sox spring training, has put together a nice season since being thrust into action for the injury-plagued Yankees.

Mike Carp Starts at First Base for Red Sox As Mike Napoli Gets Night Off in Minnesota
Only Mike Napoli, Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury have played in all 41 games this year for the Red Sox, but manager John Farrell will give his first baseman a break when the team opens a three-game set in Minnesota.
