Tim Wakefield throws 8 shutout innings for his 11th win, and Jonathan Papelbon adds one more for his 28th save. Red Sox starters have now pitched 24 straight scoreless innings and have had 3 straight games in which the starter has not thrown a complete game but has left the game without allowing a run. The Sox got one run in the 2nd when Youk was hit by a pitch and would come around to score on back to back singles from Doug Mirabelli and Julio Lugo, then would add 2 more in the 8th on a Jason Varitek pinch hit sac fly and another Lugo single.
