Sox bats go silent
The Sox opened up a 3 game weekend series in Texas this afternoon with a 2-0 loss. Tim Wakefield made the start for the Sox and actually pitched a good game. In the 1st inning, Sammy Sosa took a check swing and accidentally made contact. The ball fell in behind 1st base and a run scored. In the 2nd, a Dustin Pedroia error led to an unearned run. Wakefield lasted 6 innings giving up only the 2 fluke runs.
Unfortunately the Sox wasted the good start from Wakefield, as they were shutout and only managed 3 hits. Robinson Tejeda (not Tejada as NESN showed in all their graphics and Don and Jerry called him the entire game) shut down the Sox, giving up only 2 hits in 7 innings. Akinori Otsuka converted the save after giving up a lead off single to Manny in the 9th.
There's not much to say about this one. You can't win if you don't score. Tomorrow we begin the countdown of days until Jon Lester joins the team as Julian Tavarez gets the start vs. Kevin Millwood.
