Pittsburgh Pirates 7 Boston Red Sox 5

Today down in sunny Florida, the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Boston Red Sox and their starter, Josh Beckett, by a score of 7-5. Josh was looking to regain SOMETHING he's lost, but, in a nutshell, here's how he did. I'll have all the ugliness first thing tomorrow morning. And now, short and as painless as possible...

Beckett was pulled after 4 2-3 innings with the Pirates ahead 5-3. He has allowed 12 runs in 14 1-3 innings this spring.

Ouch.
