Josh Beckett dominated striking out 10 Oakland batters as the Boston Red Sox
defeated the Oakland Athletics by a score of 6 to 1 at Fenway
Park.
 
Beckett(11-5) was very good in the win.  He allowed just 4 hits and 3 walks in
7 innings.  The pitchers took over after the 4th inning as neither team was
able to score again.  
 
Dana Eveland(2-3) suffered the loss.  He gave up 4 runs in 2 innings of work.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Beckett - except Oakland.  Bob
Geren lamented, 'He just was 'on' tonight.  He was keeping our guys off
balance all game.  A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a fun
game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'
