The Boston Redsox have failed to gain a win against the Yankees tonight in game one of the series at Fenway. Boston started off the first two innings great with Josh Beckett striking out the 5 of 6 batters. Beckett did not have a successful outing once again.
Beckett was tagged for 9 earned runs in only 5-1/3 innings on Friday night, while striking out 8 batters. Beckett did get a hot start, but automatically cooled off, after a Nick Swisher 3-run home run to give the Yankees the lead. Boston never really got the offense going, they were just trying to play catch up ball.
Boston did manage to tag 9 hits off the Yankees, JD Drew and Victor Martinez continued there bats with 2 hits in the game. Martinez did not start the game, but came into pinch hit for Jason Varitek and got another at bat getting 2 singles in just as many at bats.
JD Drew will be bostons player of the game, though not much of a game. He was 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored. Drew and Beltre have been Bostons most consistent hitters in the past 10 days.
Young right hander Phil Hughes moves to a nice record of 4-0 while Beckett drops another game. Clay Buchholz(3-2) will take the mound in tomorrows afternoon game against the power pitcher CC Sabathia(4-1).
