""I'm a little sore," Dustin Pedroia said this afternoon after giving Rich Hill a savage beating in Nintendo RBI Baseball. "But I'm OK."

Pedroia left last night's game in the 8th inning after slipping on second base and aggravating his surgically repaired left foot. A numbing sensation persisted for several minutes, the result of jarring the steel screw he had inserted into his broken navicular bone last August.

He is out of the lineup today but expects to play tomorrow."
