Wakefield Pounded in Loss (27-23)

The Red Sox got pounded by the Royals last night, by an embarrassing score of 5-12. Tim Wakefield (right) was awful, giving up 9 runs in 3.2 innings, he is now 1-3/5.68/25. Victor Martinez had a very good game, going 2-4 with 4 RBIs, but he wasn't enough. He is now .262/7/24 as he has gotten much better. The other RBI belonged to David Ortiz, who is now .262/10/28. Tonight, Clay Buchholz (6-3/3.07/43) goes against Zack Greinke (1-5/3.57/51). The Red Sox can't lose a series to the Royals!
