| I didn't think it could get worse than the embarrasment of last games' 8-1 loss with 6 unearned runs, but oh how wrong I was. Josh Beckett does worse than his 5 run, 4 1/3 inning performance in the opener by getting shelled for 7 runs in the 2nd inning, with six of those unearned! Sloppy defense does it again. The embarassment of that 2nd inning: *** BOTTOM OF INNING 2 *** 0 R.Ankiel 2- 7 6 Walk b-1 0 1 J.Guillen 4- 2 2 1 Base Error - 1B 1-2 b-1 0 12 J.Kendall 1- 7 5 Walk 2-3 1-2 b-1 0 123 Y.Betancour 4- 8 17 4 Single 3-H 2-3 1-2 b-1 0 123 C.Getz 2- 8 8 3 Single 3-H 2-3 1-2 b-1 0 123 D.Dejesus 2-10 3 Ground Out Double Play 3-o 2-3 1-2 b-0 2 23 S.Podsednik 3- 6 6 Walk b-1 2 123 A.Callaspo 1- 5 6 Single 3-H 2-H 1-2 b-1 2 12 B.Butler 5- 5 1 3 Home Run 2-H 1-H b-H SUBSTITUTE P - Ramon Ramirez 2 R.Ankiel 4- 7 16 5 Fly Out b-0 The Sox fall to 1-4 for the year, with their so far anemic offence only scoring 7 runs total and batting only .206 while allowing almost 7 runs a game. It will get better cause it can't get much worse. |

clobbered the Boston Red Sox pitching staff, scoring 10 runs while Zack
Greinke(2-0), with relief help from Dusty Hughes, held Boston to 1
run.

and 2/3 innings and surrended up 4 hits and 2 walks seeing his ERA drop from
4.70 to 3.14. Kansas City out-hit Boston for the game, 9 hits to 5.
Josh Beckett(0-2) was tagged with the loss. He pitched 1 and 2/3 innings
giving up 5 hits and 4 walks.
