Red Sox - 001 201 000 - 4 10 0 Royals - 001 008 00x - 9 14 2Everything fell apart in the sixth inning. The Royals sent 12 men to the plate, and had their way with both Wakefield (5.1-9-4-0-3, 97) and Matt Albers (.1-3-5-2-0, 21).
Ryan Lavarnway was 2-for-3 (Carl Crawford and Dustin Pedroia also had two hits) and he batted in the first run of his career.
On July 24, Wakefield won his 199th career game, and his season ERA was 5.15.
In his next four starts, he posted a 4.08 ERA, but has been credited with two losses and two no-decisions. He tries for win #200 (and Red Sox win #186) for the fifth time tonight. (Giving wins to pitchers is dumb, but Wakefield must get eight more.)
