Wakefield Wins 199th

ESPN:

Tim Wakefield (6-3) joined Roger Clemens as the only pitchers to strike out 2,000 batters with Boston and moved one win away from his 200th victory. But the 44-year-old knuckleballer left after giving up Brendan Ryan's grand slam that cut the lead to 11-7 with one out in the seventh.
He got the win, but the pitching line wasn't very pretty.  6 1/3 innings pitched, 10 hits, 7 runs, all earned, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts.  Tomorrow, R.A. Dickey is scheduled to start against the Reds in Cincinnati.  I'm planning on attending.
