RHP Jonathan Papelbon needed just 18 pitches to
close out the Orioles Wednesday, recording his 133rd
save (20th this season), and passing Bob Stanley to
become the Sox all-time saves leader. 3B Mike Lowell
was placed on the D.L. Tuesday after having his
surgically repaired right hip drained, and receiving an
anti-inflammatory injection. 1B/OF Jeff Bailey was
called up from AAA Pawtucket, and will take Lowell's
spot on the roster. The Sox inked 1st Round pick (28th
selection) OF Reymond Fuentes (Fernando Callejo
HS/Puerto Rico) on Monday ($1.1 million) assigning
him to the Gulf Coast Rookie League. RHP Tim
Wakefield made his 383rd start in a Boston uniform
Friday v. Seattle, passing Roger Clemens for the most
starts in club history. Wakefield's 10 wins are tied for
tops in the majors (Roy Halladay-Toronto/Kevin
Slowey-Minnesota). Elias Sports Bureau- Tim
Wakefield's 1-0 win Saturday in Atlanta was only his
second 1-0 win (5/30/95 @ Oakland) 14 years, 28 days
earlier, the longest span of any pitcher in major league
history between 1-0 wins playing for the same club.
Last Friday in Atlanta skipper Terry Francona
(801-731/.523) picked up his 800th career win,
becoming the 9th active skipper to reach the
milestone (Tony LaRussa-2,502/ Bobby Cox-2,361/ Joe
Torre-2,199/ Lou Piniella-1,736/ Jim Leyland-1,367/
Dusty Baker-1,272/ Bruce Bochy-1,133/ Mike
Sciosia-843). MLB announced the rosters for the XM
All-Star Futures Game in St. Louis, which includes 2
members of the Sox organization (RHP Casey
Kelly-U.S./RHP Junizi Tazaw-World). Casey is a
combined 7-3/1.64 (14 ER/77.0 IP/63 SO/12 BB) at
class-A Salem & Greenville. Tazaw (7-4/2.92/25
ER/77.0 IP/71 SO/25 BB) throws for AA Portland.
