Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English

BOSTON - The last time he faced the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park, Clay Buchholz overcame the nerves of his second major-league start and the mounting pressure of making baseball history to pitch a no-hitter. (article 7)
Brian Roberts greeted Buchholz with a game-opening double and was a home run short of the cycle Friday night as Baltimore knocked the Red Sox right-hander around in the first inning and beat Boston 7-3. (article 7)
Brian Burres (7-5) pitched his longest outing in eight tries, allowing three runs and six hits before leaving with a 4-3 lead with one out in the seventh to outpitch the 23-year-old Texan who no-hit Baltimore on Sept. 1. (article 7)
That gave the AL the home-field edge in the World Series - his Chicago White Sox then took advantage, opening with a pair of tight victories at U.S. Cellular Field on their way to sweeping Houston. (article 3)
One reason to tune in to the pregame events Tuesday is the Red Carpet Parade up the Avenue of the Americas in midtown Manhattan, which begins at 7 on Fox. (article 2)
Forty-seven Hall of Famers, according to Fox Sports, will participate in the parade before being honored during an on-field ceremony at 8. (article 2)
