G9: Red Sox 4, Yankees 0 

Yankees - 000 000 000 - 0  2  0
Red Sox - 001 000 21x - 4 12  0
Beckett allowed only two hits over eight innings, and established a career-high against the Yankees with 10 strikeouts (8-2-0-1-10, 103). Jonathan Papelbon pitched a perfect ninth. Beckett and Bot combined to retire the last 17 Yankees batters of the game.

It was Beckett's first double-digit strikeout game since July 27, 2009.

Marco Scutaro, batting at the bottom of the order, reached base four times; his two-run double off Joba Chamberlain in the seventh gave the Red Sox a 3-0 cushion.

Boston had at least two runners on base in seven of its eight innings. The Sox loaded the bases with no outs in the third. They had a run wiped off the board when Kevin Youkilis slid out of the baseline trying to break up a double play at second base. Mike Cameron immediately singled to score the run "again".

Facing Joba in the seventh, David Ortiz walked. One out later, J.D. Drew walked, Jason Varitek singled, and Scutaro doubled. Freddie Garcia walked Youkilis to open the eighth and gave up an RBI double to Ortiz that sailed into the triangle on the fly.

Dustin Pedroia singled three times and was walked intentionally. He had three hits in each of the three games against the Yankees. His 9-for-13 showing raised his average from .227 to .400. His OPS rocketed from .488 to 1.019!

In addition to his double, Scuatro singled and walked twice. Adrian Gonzalez (who was hit on the left hand by a Sabathia (5.2-9-1-4-4, 118) pitch in the fifth), Youkilis, Ortiz were each on base three times.

All of the other AL East teams lost today, so the Jays and Yankees are 1 GB the Orioles, with the Red Sox 4 GB. The Rays, who come to Fenway tomorrow, are 5 GB.

    Why does Tito insist on taking Ells (minor if any split difference between LHP and RHP) out of the lineup versus lefties, but he keeps Ortiz (do I need to say it?) in the frikken five spot!?

    There's loyalty to a player and then there's damaging an already-struggling offense.

    Asked whether he considered going year-by-year as Jonathan Papelbon has elected to do, Buchholz said, "I gave it a lot of thought. It was a difficult decision in that aspect of it. You play this game to be secure and make money because you can't play baseball forever. If it was me, and I didn't have a wife or kid, it might have been a decision we would have thought about more. I knew what my heart was telling me and what my family wanted."

    He added, "I owed a lot to the Red Sox. They drafted me. They gave me an opportunity to come up through the system. This game is not near as easy as people make it seem at times. It took its toll. Thought I was better than I was. They stuck with me through hard situations."

    I would not be upset if six more runs scored here.

    With the way he's pitching, hopefully he's left in to see if he can close it out quick. But Tito has to have a short leash..like 113 pitches short.

    The replay of Papi hitting the double with the slow-motion rain falling brings to mind slo-mo action scenes, like the doves in a John Woo movie.

    questionable strike three. oh well, tex looked like such a jackass during that AB. maybe thats how he always appears, i dunno, can't say i've ever looked at him that closely. but definite douche.

    oh well. time for an FKR sweep.

    Who is the guy behind the plate holding up the yellow things after a Sox pitcher gets a K?

  173. Dr. JeffApril 10, 2011 at 8:10 PM

    My annual bet with one of the local Yankee fans paid off tonight.

    -Each series is $10, double if it's a sweep
    -$10 for best record at the break
    -$20 for best record at the end of the season.

    So I'm up $10 so far. Last year I lost a bunch.

    Tim, I was listening on the radio, but something tells me it was Tex's usual look.

    "Who is the guy behind the plate holding up the yellow things after a Sox pitcher gets a K?"

    One sign looked like the three lines of a triple, and the other looked like he just crossed something out, a big blob. I feel like that person's gonna go home, watch the replay of the game, and go "Oh shit I was showing the BACK of my signs! And I'll never get those seats again...."
