Beckett strikes out 5 in 3 innings (AP)

 
Josh Beckett has been dominant so far during spring training, even if he has faced mostly college kids and minor leaguers. The Red Sox ace struck out five and allowed two hits in three innings Monday in a "B" game against the Minnesota Twins. "It feels like we're in the loser's bracket of an AAU tournament," Beckett joked of the small crowd, which watched for free during the 10 a.m. (link)
