GAME NOTES: Tim Wakefield has been the pitcher of record in every one of his twenty-two starts this season. His thirteen wins are tied with five others, including Daisuke Matsuzaka, for fifth in the majors. Should he win this game he would move into a tie for the major league lead with Josh Beckett, John Lackey, C.C. Sabathia and Carlos Zambrano. Wakefield’s decision streak is the longest since Lum Harris recorded a decision in his first 26 starts in 1942…The Sox’ six game advantage over the Yankees matches the tightest margin since May 3rd.
