Paul Byrd pitched better today than Brad Penny did in any start this season. Byrd threw six shutout frames allowing three hit and three walks and struck out one. Delcarmen, Wagner, and Saito finished off the shutout. Billy Wagner struck out the side in his inning of work.
The Sox put up seven runs and have figured Roy Halladay out scoring in each of the first four innings. Every batter had a hit except for Tek this afternoon. Youkilis had three RBIs on the day to bring his season total to 77. Baldelli, filling in for Jason Bay, hit a solo shot in the second inning.
