The adventure resumes. Red Sox take a 2 run lead in the top of the eleventh, Papelbon relieves in bottom and gives up a bunt single and then the runner advances to second on a wild pitch. Stay tuned...
Me, again. Dice-K is taking his one hit shutout into the bottom of the seventh. It's hard to believe that the worst performance by a Red Sox pitcher in the last 8 games was Beckett's 8 inning, 2 run gem!
Verlander went 8, gave up 3 hits ...
Penny went 7 innings of 1 hit ball ....
Did the bats in the MLB suddenly go silent ?

That's even better than having a 1968 Bob (1.12 ERA) Gibson pitching every game. Except that he pitched almost all complete games.
J.V. went 11 hitters, Penney 19 and Scherzer 12 before giving up thier 1st hit.
Here we have a combination of the Sox struggling and the Tigers pitching getting better ... (getting better, a long way from good at this point.)
I know the season is young and all that, but has there ever been a season that started with TWO overpaid acquisitions performaing as poorly as Jason Wirth and Carl Crawford have? I just read a Washinton Post column getting the digs in on Wirth for raising his batting average by going one for four, but Crawford increased his average by even more by going one for five.
Incredible stretch by the Sox starters!
It reminds me of Sept. 1990. The Sox went into Toronto for a three game series tied for first place with the Blue Jays. Roger Clemens, Greg Harris and the immortal Dana Kiecker pitched three consecutive shutouts, and the Sox went on to win the AL East.
Jered Weaver is now 6-0 with a 0.99 ERA!!
Is it too early to start talking about Mr. Cy Young?
He's the first pitcher in MLB history to win six games by April 25.Jered Weaver is now 6-0 with a 0.99 ERA!!
Probably because he is the first pitcher that got to start the season about 1 to 2 weeks earlier than it normally starts
Is this even healthy? He averages 4 days between starts. At this pace, he'll need Tommy John Surgery by June.
I read somewhere it was about 4 days earlier on average, so maybe only one more start was gained...
Are you sure about that?? The Red Sox just played the Angels in a four-game series and avoided having to face him....
