RHP Josh Beckett was activated from the 15-day disabled list and exceeded expectations that he would throw somewhere between 55-70 pitches in his first game since Aug. 17. Beckett threw 80 pitches and was dominant with all his pitches despite a noticeable reduction in velocity throughout the game. The 28-year-old ace reported no problems after the game, and is scheduled to make his next start Wednesday night at Fenway Park against the Tampa Bay Rays. "It's definitely a nice stepping stone and easier to go out the next start and not worry about it," said Beckett to reporters. |

Beckett struck out seven and allowed only four singles in five shutoutt inning, helping Boston beat the Rangers 8-1 on Friday night. Advice: Pitching for the first time since Aug. 17 due to an inflamed right elbow, Beckett (12-9) struck out four of the first eight batters he faced. The right-hander, on a limited pitch count, threw 49 of his 80 pitches for strikes without walking a batter. "I came out of the game healthy. That's what we were looking for," Beckett said. "I thought about it before the game more than anything. It's one of those deals, you've got to go out and push through it." |
