Ivan Calderon’s shoulder hurt so much he “couldn’t throw the ball two feet.” He’s waiting to see a doctor to find out what’s wrong. In the meantime, he hit a two-run homer, two singles, walked, stole a base, scored two runs and drove in two in Tuesday’s 5-2 victory over the Pirates. “The good thing about it is he hits the home run, then he comes back and drives the ball up the middle,” Red Sox hitting coach Mike Easler said. “That’s a professional hitter.” Calderon, a .277 lifetime hitter acquired in an off-season trade with Montreal, is 6 for 13 this spring. . . . No. 3 starter Danny Darwin, who was scheduled to pitch Tuesday, is sidelined indefinitely with back problems.
