Josh Beckett, Jon Lester and Tim Wakefield have something in common. They were hammered by the Tampa Bay Rays. They threesome combined for 12 2/3 inning, 18 runs allowed (17 earned), 8 HR, 23 hits and 5 BB. That’s an earned run average of 12.06.

Carlos Pena was 4-for-30 against Tim Wakefield before his first inning two-run homer over the left field wall. About 30 seconds later, Evan Longoria hit it over the wall as well for a very, very quick 3-0 lead. Wow. Yes, wow.
