Wakefield Outpitched By Kazmir and Tampa Bay Relievers

Tim Wakefield pitched 8 wonderful innings, allowing 4 hits and three runs, one on a passed ball, Thursday night, in a 5-1 Red Sox loss. He had gone 13-1 against the Rays before last night. Tavarez could not get an out in the 9th, giving up doubles and a home run before our effective reliever Keith Foulke ended it. Another quality start for Wakes, who has been the victim of poor run support, with the Sox scoring only 5 runs in his 3 losses. As Francona said, "If he continues to throw like that, he's going to rack up a lot of wins."
On to Halliday and his Blue Jays, with stopper Josh Baseball..err...Beckett going tonight against A.J. Burnett. Knock 'em out, Josh.
