BOSTON: 0 0 0 0 0 4 1 0 x - 5 7 1
Yes, the mantra - "series win, best (AL) record, leading East" can be recited today! The Boston Red Sox took the third game of the three-game series against the Oakland Athletics. The game was not quite a pitcher's duel, but Wakefield did get his American League leading eleventh win in his last start before heading to the All-Star game. And there was a bit of a home derby in Fenway Park tonight thanks to Drew and (former All-Star Home Run Derby participant) Ortiz. Boston says a brief farewell to Oakland, as the Athletics will be returning to Fenway Park at the end of the month. The Red Sox will welcome the Kansas City Royals for a four-game set, their final series before the All-Star break. Let's have Boston sweep Kansas City to end the first half of the season!
