6:00 game today folks, let's wrap up this series with the Angels with a big W
Red Sox: Wakefield allowed just two hits and one run in his start against the Orioles on July 12, pitching into the seventh inning for the
ninth consecutive game. His knuckleball kept the Baltimore lineup guessing, and Wakefield did not allow a single baserunner in the final 13 batters he faced.
Manager Terry Francona said it might be the best he's ever seen the veteran pitch. Wakefield will take on the Angels in his first start after the
All-Star Break, a team he hasn't faced yet this year. He's 5-6 lifetime at Angel Stadium.
Angels: Garland was roughed up for seven runs on 10 hits in just 2 2/3 innings against the A's on July 11. He allowed 12 of the 21 batters he faced to reach base via hit or walk. Garland actually pitched well in his previous start as he allowed just one run in a complete-game win against the Blue Jays.

Well, the bullpen does it again.
