Looks like Tim Wakefield and Josh Bard ironed out whatever problems cropped up last time in Texas. Wake had an excellent outing, going six innings and allowing only one run (unearned) in the first. Wake ended his night by striking out three straight to get out of a 1st and 3rd jam with no outs. Bard had no passed balls today, a welcome change from the 3 PB last time. Adam Stern got the start (probably his last before getting sent down to Pawtucket when his Rule 5 time is up on the 19th) and delivered two hits and two RBI. Foulke had an excellent 8th inning, retiring the side in order on two K’s and a popout. Personally, I would’ve have brough him back for the 9th and the save, but I can understand Francona not wanting to push it too much. Papelbon had a shaky night (which is fine, he is a rookie after all) but no runners crossed the plate, and he picked up his third save. Sox win the game 4 runs to 1, and start the season 5-1. Fenway is going to blow up on Tuesday.
