Field temperature was close to 100 degrees. Like the summer swelter, Wake was hot in Atlanta throwing 6 shutout innings to beat the Braves 1-0.
Not much offense on the day. Just one key hit by Mark Kotsay to plate Youk. But that's all Wake & the bullpen would need. The Braves have scored just 1 run in the past 2 days off Red Sox pitching. Combination of good Red Sox pitching & poor hitting with RISP.
Tim Wakefield, at 42 years old, gathers his first 10 win season before July 1st. Also, another win on Saturday kept the Yankees & other AL East teams from gaining any ground on the 1st place Sox.
The Sox are winning series on the road now with regularity, something they were not doing in April & May. Let's ride the wave & go for a sweep behing Penny today.
