That was another one to be filed under: Well, that sucked.
Wakefield pitched really well tonight. He went eight innings with only ninety-six pitches and held the Mariners to only five hits (one of them was, unfortunately, the game deciding homerun in the third inning.) He struck out eight and didn't walk anybody. Normally, such a dominating performance would be good for a win but not when vintage Erik Bedard is on the mound for the other side.
There was no offense to speak of. They were held to two singles (one by Manny and one by Lowell.) They drew six walks but made nothing of them. Ellsbury did have a very good steal of second in the third inning. He'd already made his break for second (after walking to first) when the throw came into first, so he just kept going and reached safely because of a poor throw from first. And that's about it.
One thing to be grateful of: For awhile, at least, that's it for middle of the night night-games. I'm so tired-I repeatedly fell asleep on the ride in to work this morning.
