Sorry I didn’t post this earlier but Friday night was the my fantasy baseball auction draft. My team ended up ok. I have some great pitchers but my hitters are another story.
Texas Rangers pitcher Robinson Tejada outdueled Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield on Friday afternoon in Texas and led the Rangers to a 2-0 win. Tejada threw 7 innings, gave up 2 hits, walked 3 and struck out 1. Wakefield threw 6 innings, gave up 3 hits, 2 runs, 1 earned run, 2 walks and 4 strikeouts. The Red Sox bullpen threw another scoreless 3 innings.
It was Sammy Sosa’s bloop single scoring Michael Young gave the Rangers the lead 1-0. A Dustin Pedroia error in the 2nd inning and a stolen base by Brad Wilkerson led to the second run being scored for the Rangers.
Manny Ramirez, Coco Crisp and J.D. Drew were the only Sox players to manage hits in the game.
Julian Tavarez will try to right the ship on Saturday night as he faces off with Kevin Millwood.
