Looks like Tampa says they have the biggest balls at the moment. That's 2 1-run games they've won late in the past week. Kudos.
That said, Beckett is still a scary pitcher to face. He did just about everything to win that game. Thankfully Andy and the bullpen were up to the challenge.
From ESPN.com:
Beckett and Rays starter Andy Sonnanstine were outstanding against each another for the second time in six days.
Beckett limited the Rays to Pena's 29th homer and two singles in eight innings, and Sonnanstine held the Red Sox to three hits and an unearned run on Kevin Youkilis' sacrifice fly in six innings.
Both allowed just one run last Wednesday at Fenway Park in a game Tampa Bay eventually won 4-2 in 14 innings.
According to NESN, Red Sox WC magic number is 6. Does that mean that it's 5 for Tampa to clinch a playoff spot?
