The Red Sox are now down to their final series. They’ll host the Orioles for three games and just like that, the season will be over with. Sigh.
The Red Sox moved temporarily back into second place on Tuesday with a win over the Devil Rays. Curt Schilling made his final start of the season and he improved to 15-7. He struck out nine in seven innings of work. Big Papi, David Ortiz hit homerun number 54 and he drove in three runs in the 5-1 win.
Yesterday was plain ugly. Josh Beckett was hammered for eight runs in 6 2/3 innings. In the meantime, the offense was held to a measly five hits in the 11-0 shutout.
