The Boston Red Sox sweep the Detroit Tigers with 3 excellent starts by Dice-K, Beckett & now Wakefield. Wake went 6+ innings in the 6-3 win today.
The old man of the staff now leads all other starters in wins with 7. The key to Wake's success, as mentioned by the Eck several times, is not giving up free bases with walks. On the receiving end Kottaras is not only catching the ball well, but has also thrown out a few runners at second. Wake & Kottaras are working well together.
You have to admire a guy like Tim Wakefield who has mastered a difficult pitch & made a long career out of it.
