Wells leaves to standing ovation

At least one member of the Red Sox has showed life today: pitcher David Wells. He was just removed from the game in the eigth inning, and walked off to a standing ovation.

Wells left the game with one out in the eigth and Nick Green standing on third base (Green doubled and reached third on a sacrifice). Keith Foulke entered the game and promptly threw a wild pitch to the first batter he faced, Derek Jeter, to let in the run. Wells just shook his head in the dugout. Somewhat ironically, Fouke went on to strike out Jeter and Bobby Abreu to end the inning.

The final line on Wells: 7.1 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 4 K, 1 BB. He stands to lose the game, through no fault of his own.
