Wake Gets Shelled, So Does Pen

Tim Wakefield was supposed to be enjoying his historic night but it ended early for him with a new piece of personal history. Wake left the game after just 1 2/3 innings; his shortest outing as a member of the Red Sox. He gave up 4 hits, walked 4, threw a wild pitch, and hit a batter in the short appearance. He did not have any K's on the night and gave up 7 earned runs. This game got ugly in a hurry but Youk gave the Nation some hope with a 3 run tater in the top of the 3rd. Chris Smith gave 2 of the runs back when he served up a gopher ball in the bottom of the inning. Lopez pitched well before Timlin resumed the bloodletting by giving up 4 more runs in 2 innings. Pauley pitched the final 2 innings for Boston giving up 2 more runs. Coco and Lowell stayed hot at the plate with multi-hit games but the game was really over after the 2nd. The Red Sox can win another series if they can get a victory in the third game with Texas tomorrow afternoon.
