| Tim Wakefield is a bit off in the early going, starting the game allowing asingle, sac bunt, RBI double and two consecutive wild pitches to bring another run home, but the Sox bail him out scoring seven runs in the first four innings off of Luke Hochevar to hand Hochevar his 10th loss of the year. Alex Cora ties a career high with a four hit day, Kevin Youkilis goes 3 for 4 including a 2-run homer, and Big Papi knocks one over the fence. It all adds up to Wake's 11th win of the year, putting him back into a tie with Dice-K for the team lead in wins. Jason Bay gets his first Sox steal, and despite a walk and scoring a run continues to struggle a bit with his new team. Bay is only batting .100 (2 for 20) in the six games since coming to Boston, but both hits were for extra bases (double and homerun) and he has walked 6 times along with knocking in 3 runs and scoring three times. That got me thinking about Manny, and since going to L.A. Ramirez is .263 (5 for 19) and no homers or RBI. |
