Red Sox-Angels (September 6, 2005)

Curt Schilling looked better yesterday than he has as a starter all season but it still wasn't good enough to get a win as the Red Sox got beat on Labor Day by the White Sox, 5-3. White Sox starter, rookie Brandon McCarthy, lived up to the high expectations that preceded him, holding the BoSox scoreless over seven innings. The bright spot for Boston was that Keith Foulke pitched 1 2/3-innings of perfect relief. The Angels -- who hail from as many as 9, 30 or 46 different places -- come to Fenway tonight. Tim Wakefield (14-10, 4.41) gets the start for the Red Sox and John Lackey (11-5, 3.45) will go for the Angels. NESN and WEEI have the game beginning at 7:05 p.m. Entering tonight, the Sox have a three-game lead over the Yankees in the division. The Bronx Bombers open a three-game series in New York versus the Devil Rays tonight.
