SPORTS
Tim Wakefield earned his 200th win on his eight try, Dustin Pedroia hit his homers in Boston's highest-scoring game of the season and the Red Sox ended a five-game losing streak with an 18-6 rout of the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night.
Wakefield wins No.200
The crowd at Fenway Park clapped and chanted "Wakefield! Wakefield!" as Junichi Tazawa pitched the ninth for Boston, which moved four games in front of the Rays. Tampa Bay lost 4-2 at Baltimore.
The Red Sox added to their cushion with four runs in the sixth on a double by Carl Crawford, an RBI single by Jarrod Saltalamacchia, a single by Jacoby Elsbury and a three-run homer by Pedroia, his 20th of the year.
The Red Sox needed the victory badly after their AL wild-card lead over Tampa Bay had dropped from nine games to three over the previous nine days. And the 45-year-old knuckleballer was eager to end the long wait — 0-3 in seven outings since his last win July 24 — to become the 108th pitcher with 200 wins.
Pedroia went 4 for 5 with two homers, two doubles and a sacrifice fly after going 3 for 31 on the road trip that ended Sunday with Boston losing six of seven games. Ellsbury also had four hits and Crawford had three as Boston finished with 18.
Wakefield (7-6) went six innings and overcame a shaky outing to retire his final six batters. He left with a 6-5 lead after allowing six hits and two walks. He struck out two.
Pedroia, who tied his career high with five RIBs, also was on the tail end of consecutive homers with Ellsbury in the fourth.
Wakefield gave the runs right back in the third when the Blue Jays took a 5-4 lead as Eric Thames led off with a single and Jose Bautista hit his major league high-42nd home.
Crawford led off the sixth with a double and took third on Marco Scutatar's sacrifice. Luis Perez allowed hits to the only four batters he faced, starting with Saltalamacchias single that made it 7-5.
Alfredo Aceves relieved Wakefield in the seventh and worked two scoreless innings. Tazawa, just recalled from the minors, finished up.
Then the Red Sox went ahead to stay 6-5 on the back-to-back homers by Ellsbury, his 27th, and Pedroia.
Toronto went ahead 3-2 in the second on J.P. Arencibia's 23rd homer, a three-run shot. But the Red Sox made it 4-3 in the bottom of the inning on an RBI double by Ellsbury and Pedroia's sacrifice飞.
Boston took a 2-0 lead on unearned runs in the first when Pedroia doubled. Adrian Gonzalez walked, Kevin Youkilis was hit by a pitch and Josh Reddick was safe on a two-base throwing error by first baseman David Cooper.
Brandon Morrow (9-11) left after
Wakefield's previous start also was against the Blue Jays and he left that with an 8-5 lead last Wednesday. But the bullpen failed and Toronto came back for an 11-10 win, forcing Wakefield to keep waiting for that elusive 200th win.
But on Tuesday, the Red Sox kept adding to their lead with four runs in the sixth, one in the seventh and seven in the eighth. Salalamacchia's three-run double highlighted Boston's final inning at the plate.
