Game Four loss puts Sox on brink of elimination


(NECN) - Tim Wakefield became the oldest starting pitcher in American League Championship history. He was hoping it would be a performance for the scrap book, and it was, for the Tamp Bay Rays. They bombed Wakefield, and he lasted just two and two thirds, never giving his team a chance to win.

Evan Longoria hit his rookie-record fifth home run of the playoffs, and Carlos Pena and Willy Aybar also homered off aging knuckleballer Tim Wakefield on Tuesday night to give the Rays a 13-4 victory over the Red Sox that put the defending World Series champions on the brink of elimination.

Carl Crawford tied an AL championship series record with five hits and Andy Sonnanstine pitched 7 1-3 sharp innings as Tampa Bay took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven playoff. Aybar had four hits and five RBIs.

Material from the Associated Press is included in this report.
