More on Wakefiled's perfect outing

Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield worked five perfect innings in a minor league game for the PawSox this afternoon. Since Boston released his personal batterymate, Doug Mirabelli, last Thursday, the team felt it would be best to have Wakefield and catcher Kevin Cash worked together in a minor league game instead of traveling to Bradenton today.

Wakefield struck out three and threw 64 pitches (48 strikes).

"Today was as good as I have ever seen him pitch," said Cash, who also caught Wakefield last season when Mirabelli was on the DL. "I don't care who he's facing, when he's down i nthe zone, he's hard to hit."

The PawSox played to a 1-1 tie with Louisville.
