Red Sox Fall Out Of First Place With Another One-Run Loss To Astros… On To Tampa Bay! —
The sophomore odyssey of Hideki Okajima continues to be a rough one… in 2007, he was nearly a sure bet, in 2008 it has been the flip of a coin.

Haren Outduels Beckett As D-Backs Down Sox, 2-1 —
If you like offense, this wasn’t the game for you. Arizona starter Dan Haren and Red Sox starter Josh Beckett were both dominant in their outings last night… problem is: Haren was just a little bit better. Haren tossed seven shutout innings, limiting the Sox potent offense to two hits in the Diamondbacks’ 2-1 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park. He walked one a struck out ...
