Red Sox 4, Devil Rays 1
I was fortunate enough to be in attendance last night on what was one of the nicer days of weather here all year. Josh Beckett was fantastic if not economical and although Mike Timlin was dicey, it was nice to see proactive Tito show his face and get Jonathan Papelbon in there to close out the eighth. Keith Foulke worked a good seventh inning as well.
Offensively, what else is new? Kevin Youkilis was on base three out of five times and was the clear offensive star of the night for Boston. David Ortiz collected a couple of hits, which was nice to see.
Tonight it gets tough as phenom Scott Kazmir takes to the hill. He’s not Doug Waechter.
