Tampa Bay 1, Boston 9

Yet another impressive outing from Curt Schilling last night as the Sox went after the middle game in this three game series. Schilling, now 4-0 in his firt four starts for the first time in his career, again limited opponents' scoring to only 1 inning, when Joey Gathright's infield single scored Toby Hall. True to form and the article below the one you're reading right now Kevin Youkilis was a BEAST (with all capital letters deserved), going 3 for 4 with a HR to open up the game, 2 runs and 2 RBI. C'mon, are we really going to move him when Coco gets back? Adam Stern helped keep the game one-sided with another balls-to-The-Wall (literally) catch that left him face down in the warning track dirt for a few seconds longer than was comfortable for the people watching the game. Thankfully, he was alright, and is going to be healthy enough to start for Pawtucket on Saturday, as Stern was optioned to AAA after the game. It is expected that Willie Harris, hitting a whopping .161 with a .277 OBP in the minors. The argument for Stern's demotion is that he could use some serious at-bats, which is certainly true. Hopefully he'll get his hacks in at AAA and really turn into the hitter people have hoped for.
