Texas will counter with right-handed veteran Vicente Padilla, who is 1-1 with a 10.00 ERA.

In his most recent trip to the hill on Monday in Oakland, Lester was charged with the loss, as he allowed six runs and 10 hits in six innings. He also struck out five without wal |

After a dominating effort to start the season, Beckett was charged with the loss in Anaheim on Sunday, as he allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings.

J.D. Drew hit a solo blast and scored three runs, while Nick Green went 2- for-4 with two RBI for the Red Sox, who were coming off a disappointing 2-4 road trip. "It was a big day for us," Bay said.

Wakefield (1-1) helped Boston salvage the finale of their three-game set with Oakland, as he carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning of the Red Sox' 8-2 win at the Coliseum. Mike Lowell hit a two-run homer and J.D. Drew launched a three-run shot for the Red Sox, who |

Granted, I know there are still 155 games to play and firing Wedge now would rival the idiocy of the Baltimore Orioles canning Cal Ripken Sr. six games into the 1988 season, but something has to change. Wedge has vastly underachieved since taking over for interim skipper Joel Skinner before the 2003 season, and his in-game management has been questioned ever since h |

Benson, a 34-year-old former first overall draft pick, is a five-time double- digit winner in the big leagues, including an 11-win campaign with the Orioles in 2006.
