Red Sox clinch, again. »
September 29, 2007
BOSTON -- Tonight felt more like a spring training game than the second-to-last contest of the regular season.
With the division title in hand, the Red Sox sent Tim Wakefield to the hill, and the veteran knuckleballer improved his record to 17-12, tying a career mark for wins in a season. He posted a 17-8 mark in 1998.
Last night he worked seven innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on six hits with zero walks and one strikeout.
Boston trailed by two runs heading into the bottom of the seventh inning, but the Sox pushed across four runs en route to a 6-4 victory over the Twins. The Sox' J.D. Drew provided a three-run homer in the seventh, along with Mike Lowell's second RBI of the game.
The Red Sox close out the regular season on Sunday against the Twins with Julian Tavarez on the hill for Boston.
