April 5, 2006: Rangers 8 Red Sox 4
Tuesday, March 13, 2007
| One problem with Josh Beckett's 2006 season with the Red Sox was that he gave up home runs at an alarming rate, a rate much higher than his previous career with the Marlins. His 2006 SOM Red Sox debut shows that same problem, as he gives up 4 home runs in an 8-4 loss to the Rangers. Beckett gave up 2 home runs and 3 runs in the 1st inning and then gave up 3 more runs in the 2nd, but it looked like he had settled through the 3rd and 4th while the Red Sox drew back to within 2 runs behind homers of their own from Big Papi and Manny. Then Beckett promptly gave up 2 more home runs back to back to Mark Teixiera and Phil Nevin to start the 5th. I pulled him at this point, but the damage was done and the Sox failed to score again in the game. JT Snow, Julian Tavarez, and David Riske make their Red Sox debuts in this game. |
