| A downright filthy performance by Josh Beckett in this one. He allows a 2-run homer to Ty Wigginton in the 9th, but along the way strikes out 17 Rays hitters. The Red Sox beat up on Rays starter JP Howell, putting up 13 hits and 10 runs before Howell is mercifully yanked. I'm not sure why the Rays manager waited so long...personally, I would have pulled him after he gave up back-to-back bombs in the 4th (to Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz). Pedroia had 3 hits, as did Manny (all doubles!) and Coco Crisp (2 doubles and a single). |

Josh Beckett racked up an impressive total of 17 strikeouts as the streaking
Boston Red Sox outscored the Tampa Bay Devil Rays 10 to 2.
Beckett(14-0) escaped virtually unscathed against the Tampa Bay hitters. He
allowed just 6 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings. Boston rapped out 16 hits for
the night.
J.P. Howell(2-3) absorbed the loss. He was touched for 13 hits and 3 walks in
4 and 1/3 innings. Beckett was pleased with his performance. He noted, 'I
had good zip on my pitches. Just as important, my location was right on.
The fans really got into the game too - that always helps me. Now, if I can
only do that again in my next outing.'
