More Stuff
-Tim Wakefield has earned a decision in each of his 17 starts this season. Since 1980, only 16 pitchers have earned decisions in each of their first 18 starts. The last to do so was Jon Garland of the White Sox in 2005, the last Red Sox pitcher to do so was Pedro Martinez in 1999, and the longest such streak in the big leagues since 1980 belongs to the White Sox' Jack McDowell, who went 27 starts without a no-decision.
-All-time series: Boston 235, Toronto 186. The Red Sox are 5-3 against Toronto so far this season, but they are 0-2 at Fenway Park.
-Tonight is the first game of Boston's longest homestand this season: 11 games.
-The Red Sox' 10-game lead in the American League East is their biggest ever at the All-Star break. It is the third consecutive year that the Red Sox have been in first at the break.
