Dontrelle Willis is a waste of space and proved it again today going 2 1/3 letting up 5 ERs on 0 hits with 5 walks. That is kind of amazing stat line. He had a no hitter going, but walked so many guys it just didn't matter. Willis is a mess, and maybe that "anxiety" is coming back...HAHA
Anyways, the ageless knuckballer had a solid outing going 6 2/3 innings letting up 3 ERs on 8 hits with 3 Ks. Wakefield has now beaten the Tigers 16 times, more than any other active pitcher in the MLB. If you are getting quality starts from your 1-4 starting pitchers like this you are going to sweep a lot of series.
Boston's offense got going on a Jason Bay bases loaded double with led to a 6 run 3rd inning. The Sox didn't score the rest of the game, but they didn't need to as Wakefield started to roll, and once again the bullpen was amazing ending with Papelbon getting his 14 save of the season.
Of course there is always bad news, and that today is that Youk left the game for "precautionary" reasons. It is believed to be some kind of calf injury. I would think it has something to do with his foot being stepped on late in the game yesterday. We'll keep you posted when more information is made available.
This should be the Tiger new logo...
Man they suck.
