| Josh Beckett pitches great, but an all too familiar scene this year sends him to his 10th loss of the season - no run support. This is the fourth time this year that Beckett has allowed three runs or less and gotten a loss to show for it. His 3.73 run support is almost a run lower than the next lowest on the team, which is Jon Lester. They are the only two Sox starters with run support less than 5.00, with Daisuke Matsuzaka leading the major leagues in run support at 6.50. Jason Marquis of the Cubs has a run support of 6.00, he and Dice-K are the only pitchers over 6. Bobby Jenks gets his 33rd save, second in the AL behind Mariano Rivera's 40 saves. As for the game, Jim Thome strikes again with a solo homerun off of Beckett in the 4th inning for all the runs Chicago would need. Jacoby Ellsbury does his part, running rampant on the bases with three steals, however after stealing second and third in one inning Dustin Pedroia lines into a doubleplay with Ellsbury doubled off of third base. Ellsbury would be the only Boston runner to get as far as third base today. |
