Beckett, Mortensen Dig Too Deep A Hole

I mean, how many times can you expect the offense to bail you out? The Red Sox dropped a crushing 10-9 game to the Texas Rangers on Wednesday afternoon at Fenway Park thanks, in part to VERY ineffective pitching by Josh Beckett and Clay Mortensen.

Josh Beckett allowed a season-high 8 runs on 8 hits - including 3 home runs - and a pair of walks over 5 innings, and Clay Mortensen was charged with 2 more runs over 3 innings.

Cody Ross (pictured) and Will Middlebrooks each went deep for the Red Sox. Ross's home run tied the game at 3 in the bottom of the 3rd; Middlebrooks tied the game at 9 with his 3-run shot in the bottom of the 7th.

Ross and Adrian Gonzalez each had 3 hits in the loss. Gonzalez is now hitting .310 on the season with 34 doubles and 72 runs batted in.

Born in Queens, NYC and lived kind of all over the place from PA to NJ to NYC and back to NJ. Yeah, I used to be that guy on WNEW-FM. No, I never worked at WPLJ (honest). I support my family by doing two things in life I truly love - baseball and radio (WDHA).
