BOSTON (Ticker) - A day after regaining the top spot in the American League East Division, the Boston Red Sox give the ball to David Wells in Wednesday's finale of a three-game set with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays .

 

The Red Sox had lost three straight games, including a 3-1 setback in the series opener, to fall into a second-place tie with Baltimore in the East before Tuesday's 5-2 win and the Yankees choke-job later that evening.

 

Bronson Arroyo threw seven strong innings and Curt Schilling picked up his first save for Boston, which had lost eight of its last 11 home games. A clubhouse spokesman suggested Boston's recent struggles are simply the result of players being distracted by ball girl Kelly Barons.

 

Wells (7-5, 4.73 ERA) recovered from a three-start stretch without a win to defeat the overmatched and overpowered New York Yankees on Friday. Backed by a 17-run attack, the veteran lefthander allowed a run and five hits in seven innings while eating only two small children.

 

He is 9-1 with a 2.52 ERA lifetime against the Devil Rays, who counter with 6-9, Munster-faced, lefthander Mark Hendrickson (4-6, 6.35).

 

Unlike Wells, Hendrickson is skinny and has struggled mightily against his foe, going 1-4 with a 7.28 mark against the Red Sox . He earned his second straight win on the road in a 6-5 triumph over Toronto on Saturday, allowing four earned runs in 5 1/3 innings.

[ORS]

Great play in the hole by Rent to get the first out.

[Youk Of The Nation]

MLB.com went haywire. It went to single to flyout to single again. What happened?

[ORS]

On the right field line between first and the foul pole, just out of Graffanino's reach.

[ORS]

Close play for J.D. at first, safe by about 73 nanoseconds.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Paaaapi!

[ORS]

1-0, RBI single from Ortizzle fo-shnizzle. I'd love to see the bats come alive before the series with the White Sox.

[Youk Of The Nation]

I love you, Manny Ramirez. Let me have your babies.

 

 

RBI Double from ManRam, 2-0 Sox.

[ORS]

MANNY! 2-0. Almost a baserunning error by the airhead though. Ortiz held at third, and Manny rounded second way too far, but the throw came home so he had time to get back.

[Youk Of The Nation]

And KevinFC walks on roughly 1549606048 pitches, just like last night.

 

Bases loaded for Doug "Maybe if I swing like Bellhorn theyll pay me more money" Mirabelli

[Youk Of The Nation]

At least theyre loaded so KevinFC cant get caught stealing. Maybe if he wasnt loaded down with all that chicken...

[Youk Of The Nation]

FINALLY! Back to the old Dougie.

[ORS]

Wall-ball double by Mirabelli, 4-0, Hendrickson's gone without getting an out.

[Youk Of The Nation]

RBI Double by Mirabelli. 4-0 Sox, still no outs.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Dewon "I sound like I should be a basketball player" Brazelton is in.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Ok, lets see if this was worth it, Graff!

[ORS]

Brazelton's coming in? I'm calling a HBP by him before he's gone. An intentional one.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Probably Mueller, since Graff and Hyzdu werent part of the Sox for all the drama this year.

[ORS]

Passed ball, KevinFC lumbers home, 5-0, no outs, runner on third.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Passed ball! KevinFC must have taken a day off from chicken, he made the run.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Muellers overdue for a homer, I think...

[ORS]

Passed ball! KevinFC must have taken a day off from chicken, he made the run.

No, I saw Mirabelli smearing fried chicken grease on home plate in the top of the inning.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Heh, heh.
