Parramatta fullback Michael Gordon has jumped to the defence of embattled teammate Semi Radradra, saying criticism of the star winger has been unfair.Radradra is due to face court on Tuesday after last week being charged with three counts of domestic violence against his ex-partner.Despite his future up in the air, the 24-year-old turned out for the Eels in a close NRL loss to Cronulla on Saturday night after declining an offer from coach Brad Arthur to stand down.Gordon hit out at the medias treatment of Radradra since returning late from a club-sanctioned trip to Fiji last week, where he was arrested by police upon arrival.I think hes been copping a fair bit of unfair criticism. Theyve been parked outside his house and bombarding him everywhere, Gordon said on Monday.I thought people are innocent until proven guilty and hes just been slammed left, right and centre, which I think is very unfair.Radradra was present for a routine video review at Old Saleyards Reserve on Monday, and is still expected to appear for the club in their next NRL fixture against the Sydney Roosters on Friday night.Gordon said the Fijian flyer put in a good performance against the Sharks.He had a lot of tough carries and the Sharks (did) a really good job on him, he said.He cant score length of the field tries every week but I thought he (did) a lot of hard work. Hes a great player and the Sharks (did) a really good job on him.Radradra is slated to appear at Parramatta Local Court on Tuesday, where he is expected to plead not guilty to domestic violence charges of assault causing actual bodily harm and two counts of common assault.

PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Alfredo Aceves had another successful spot start. Aceves threw six solid innings, Daniel Nava homered and the AL East-leading Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 on Wednesday night. "Ace gave us a huge lift today," Boston manager John Farrell said. "He did an excellent job, and the bullpen came in and was stellar. This was a very good series to win here and Ace had a lot to do with that." Boston won two of three in the series, which dropped the fourth-place Rays five games behind the Red Sox. "They did a nice job against us because weve been scoring a lot of runs," Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon said. "Theyve gotten us this year in a lot of close games and we have to figure out a way to beat them." Aceves (3-1), recalled before the game from Triple-A Pawtucket, allowed one run, four hits and four walks. This is the right-handers third stint with the Red Sox this season. "He came up today, he kept us in the ballgame, and won it for us," Boston catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia said. Aceves allowed one run over six innings in another spot start on May 27, a 9-3 win over Philadelphia. Nava put the Red Sox up 2-0 on a third-inning, two-run homer off Chris Archer (1-2), who gave up two runs, four hits, four walks and struck out seven over four innings. The Rays rookie right-hander exuberantly left the mound after striking out Nava with the bases loaded to end the fourth. "He was into the game just as we were into the game," Nava said of Archer. "I just saw him jump up and down after that. Obviously it was just emotional. Hes just out there competing, wanting to win. I get that. It threw me off guard, thats all." Archer was making his third start this season, and appearing in ninth career big league game. "I was pretty amped," Archer said. "I was just competing and I wasnt holding anything back.dddddddddddd When I do that, its not towards the other team." Evan Longoria got the Rays within 2-1 on a solo homer in the sixth. He has gone deep in three consecutive games after homering just once over his previous 26. Andrew Bailey, the fourth Boston reliever, pitched the ninth for his seventh save in nine opportunties. After Craig Breslow allowed a two-out double in the eighth Kelly Johnson, Koji Uehara entered and struck out Longoria. Jacoby Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single and scored on Navas two-out shot in the third. He also stole two bases in the game, giving him 29 for the year. Ellsbury has scored a run in 10 consecutive games, and stolen a base five straight games. Tampa Bay loaded the bases by drawing three walks from Aceves in the second, but failed to score when Yunel Escobar hit an inning-ending grounder. Aceves worked out of a two-on, no-out jam in the third by striking out Johnson and getting a double-play grounder by Longoria. Rays first baseman James Loney made a strong defensive play in the first, diving to his right to take away a potential two-out RBI single from David Ortiz.
