As important as simply amassing Wins are right now, it's hardly heartening to win 13-12 when your supposed "Ace" is on the mound. Josh Beckett went 3 innings, allowing 8 runs off 9 hits and 3 walks. In 5 starts this season, Beckett has made only 2 Quality Starts, and his ERA sits at a lofty 7.22.
Beckett struggles in April, so it's not time to panic. Not yet. But May is very very close, folks.
Thankfully, Delcarmen, Papelbon, and Bard combined for 4 perfect innings of relief. Unfortunately, that came along with 4 earned runs in 2 combined innings from Atchison, Schoeneweis, and Okajima. But in the end, Toronto's bullpen was slightly worse.
Sox @ Jays tonight again, Buchholz vs. Shaun Marcum.
