Red Sox Take Game One Of Doubleheader

In a make-up of last night's rain out, the Red Sox knocked off the Blue Jays this afternoon at Fenway Park by a score of 3-1. Starter Tim Wakefield did a great job, allowing just one run over seven innings to earn his 16th victory of the season and in the process he lowered his ERA under 4 (3.96). Jonathan Papelbon pitched the eighth and Mike Timlin recorded the save. The Sox are back in a tie with the Yankees for the A.L. East lead with identical 92-64 records. The Yankees are in Baltimore tonight while the Sox have to play the second game of the doubleheader with the Jays. Curt Schilling gets the start for Boston and is still looking for his first win as a starter at Fenway in 2005.
