Josh Beckett did all he could to give the Boston Red Sox a lift.
Beckett pitched a complete game but allowed four runs on seven hits, one walk and seven strikeouts but it wasn’t enough as he suffered the loss.
Boston offense was non existent piling up just five hits for their ace.
Kevin Youkilis had an RBI double in the sixth and Mike Lowell plated a runner in the ninth. No Red Sox hitter had a multiple hit night.
Jason Bay 0-for-1 with three walks in the loss.
Goat of the Game – Offense
There are too many slumps in the lineup right now including J.D. Drew who is 0-for-18 since the All-Star break.
Next Game – 7/22 vs. Texas Rangers – Clay Buchholz/Vincente Padilla
Round 2 for Buchholz.
