Tim Wakefield became the first pitcher in the AL to reach the 11 victory mark tonight after going 6 innings and giving up 3 runs and striking out 8 Oakland A’s batters.
The A’s had a 1-0 lead in the 6th before J.D. Drew and Big Papi hit home runs giving the Red Sox the lead for good.
Delcarmen and Oki each kept the A’s off of the board but Paps was shaky again giving up a run in the 9th.
