Wakefield beats Johnson, Red Sox win 5-0

AP



BOSTON (AP) - Forty-one-year-old Tim Wakefield outpitched
44-year-old Randy Johnson in a matchup for the aged, and the Boston
Red Sox beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-0.

And it was the youngest player in Boston's lineup, 24-year-old
rookie Brandon Moss, who drove in the two runs Johnson allowed
tonight (Wednesday).

Johnson was out of the game by the time Kevin Cash hit a
three-run homer in the eighth off Juan Cruz.

It was Cash's first homer since June 21, 2005.

Coco Crisp hit three doubles for Boston while Arizona managed
just three hits.

Wakefield baffled the Diamondbacks with his knuckleball and
allowed two hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked
one.

Manny Delcarmen struck out two in a perfect eighth. Jonathan
Papelbon struck out Chad Tracy for his 23rd save in 27 chances
after Craig Hansen loaded the bases with two outs in the ninth.
