Red Sox 2, Angels 1
I didn’t make it through the whole game but Josh Beckett sure was good. Mixed his pitches, threw strikes, had a low strikeout total but an impressive result. The only bad news was that he had to leave the game with a cut on his finger. Hopefully his finger is a temporary health hiccup and his performance last night a sign of things to come.
This offense really plods along with Manny out, but in fairness to Jered Weaver, they faced a darn good starter last night.
I don’t have a whole lot to offer here since I missed the game. The Yanks lost, and the Sox are now 5.5 games back.
At the end of action on August 24, 1978 the Red Sox enjoyed a 7.5 game lead over the Yanks. Just sayin’…
