Not that it matters much at all, but
the Red Sox dropped their 12th game of the Spring, giving them a .500 mark in the Grapefruit League. Josh Beckett again had 4 good innings and melted down in the 5th—although he was victimized by bad defense. He gave up five runs on seven hits, only one earned. The Red Sox fell to the Bucs (yes, that awful team from Pittsburgh), 7-5.
