Slow Start to Second Half for Sox

The outlook may be good for Boston in the second half of the season, and the injured players making their returns will most certainly feel like an incredibly rejuvenating boost. However, it wasn't the time for rejuvenation in the opener of their second half against Texas tonight, falling 7-2 at Fenway Park.

Tim Wakefield pitched just 2+ innings, allowing 7 runs (6 earned) on 8 hits. The knuckler didn't have his stuff tonight -- plain and simple. And the Rangers teed off on him. For the optimist, you can look at the performance from the Sox bullpen tonight. Robert Manuel (2.2 IP), Dustin Richardson (0.1 IP), Scott Atchison (3.0 IP), and Ramon Ramirez (1.0 IP) combined for 7 innings of shutout ball, allowing just 4 hits. Still, the Red Sox were unable to muster enough offense, getting only solo homers from JD Drew and Bill Hall for the game.

The Sox will send rookie Felix Doubront to the mound tomorrow to try to grab their first win of the second half.
