PAWTUCKET _ Javier Lopez returned to the mound Sunday in fine fashion.

The left-handed pitcher was designated for assignment by the Red Sox last week, cleared waivers and arrived at McCoy Stadium on Saturday ready to begin his rebirth as a solid reliever.

Lopez worked a perfect 1-2-3 ninth inning for the PawSox, producing three ground outs on eight pitches (five strikes).

"I though Javy did a really nice job," said PawSox manager Ron Johnson. "It was an easy inning and his stuff looked really good."

Lopez had not thrown since May 9 in Boston.
