... (3.59, 123 ERA+) In Wakefield's last 11 starts -- going back to July 17 -- the Red Sox have scored 16 runs with Wakefield in the game. This must stop. Halladay allowed nine runs on 12 hits in 5.1 last Saturday in Texas. In 15.1 innings against Boston this year, he has allowed five runs (2.93). The best hitter of all time (well, since 1977) against the Blue Jays? Mike Lowell. Among Toronto opponents with more than 100 at-bats, he is hitting .380 (49-for-129), with 17 doubles, nine home runs and 30 RBI in 34 games. Boston has won 15 of its last 20 games. Toronto has lost eight straight.
