Rain, you’re welcome at Fenway anytime you help Wake pitch like that.

Wakfield pitched an outstanding game, one of his best ever in a Sox uniform going eight shutout innings giving up a mere three hits and ZERO walks. To say that it was out of the ordinary though, that would be lying. The start in itself wasn’t remarkalbe, but how he bounced back from his worst start as a member of the Sox to one of his best is just vintage Wakefield. Amazing that a guy can’t make it through the second in one game with four walks and 7 ER, and can totally dominate the next week. It’s the curse of the knuckleball I guess.

Jed Lowrie may have to buy the number 22 off Casey after his game tonight. Two hits, two doubles, two runs, and two RBIs. He missed the two-cycle by a walk.
