Beckett, Offense Misfire against O’s @ Camden Yards — Red Sox 2, Orioles 5 – 8/31/10

Josh Beckett put the Red Sox in an early 3-0 hole after 3 innings, and the Red Sox could never recover against young O’s lefty Brian Matusz.  Beckett ended up yielding those lone 3 runs through his 7 inning outing, but it wasn’t the shutdown performance that the club was looking for.

Lackey Looking Sharp; Sox Gain Ground On Yankees; Red Sox 6, Mariners 3 – 8/23/10 Fenway Park

John Lackey looked sharp and this time, the Red Sox bullpen didn’t blow his 3-run lead.  Lackey surrendered just 3 runs (2 earned) in his 8 innings of work.  He scattered 6 hits and 2 walks over the outing, but racked up 10 K’s in some big situations.  That also makes 2 out of 3 [...]

Clay Buchholz helped the Red Sox take the weekend series from the Blue Jays at Fenway Park on Sunday.  Not even a nasty rainy day – and a brief mid-game rain delay – could keep Buchholz from notching his 15th win of the season.  Buchholz tossed 6 scoreless inning and showed no ill effects from [...]
