June 9, 2009 Red Sox 6, Yankees 1

Josh Beckett continues to pitch how you would expect the ace of the staff to, winning his 5th straight start in an early season battle of AL East supremacy between the arch rival Sox and Yankees. Beckett holds the Yanks scoreless over almost 8 innings, and over his last five starts he is 5-0 with an ERA of 1.18 including pitching scoreless ball in his last two starts. Leigh Teixeira's husband spoils the combined shutout bid with a 9th inning homerun off of Ramon Ramirez. Speaking of scoreless inning streaks, in the Phillies game that I could not blog they shutout the Dodgers 4-0 with Antonio Bastardo going the distance in his second major league start with a three-hit shutout. Bastardo so far in his major league career is unscored upon in 15 innings and 2-0 with the shutout and going six shutout innings in his major league debut five days prior. Chase Utley knocked in all four Phillie runs with two doubles, knocking home Shane Victorino both times, and a two-run homerun with natrually Victorino scoring in front of him.
