Who would've envisioned this: Tim Wakefield joining Roger Clemens

News: Who would've envisioned this: Tim Wakefield joining Roger Clemens in the Boston record book? The 42-year-old knuckleballer pitched six scoreless innings to beat the Braves 1-0 Saturday, a worthy performance for the game that tied him with Clemens for the most career starts by a Red Sox pitcher. "Just being mentioned with the names I'm being mentioned with is pretty cool," said Wakefield, who made his 382nd start for Boston. "I'm thankful I've been here as long as I have."

Wakefield picks up 10th win of the year

Tim Wakefield improved to 10-3 on Saturday, keeping the Braves off the scoreboard in six innings and allowing just three hits and one walk while striking out one.

Our View: The 42-year-old Wakefield remains one of the toughest in the game to hit when his knuckler is in top form, and that it was on Saturday. Though he'll get roughed up pretty bad from time to time, his potential in the win column keeps him as a fine roster filler in most formats.

Red Sox | Wakefield solid Saturday

Paul Newberry, of The Associated Press, reports Boston Red Sox SP Tim Wakefield pitched six scoreless innings Saturday, June 27, to pick up his 10th win of the season. He gave up three hits while striking out one batter and walking one in the game. It was his 382nd career start as a member of the Red Sox, which tied a franchise record.

Analysis: Wakefield's second shutout reduced his ERA from 4.47 to 4.18, his lowest mark since May 24. It's amazing that the knuckleballer can be so effective even at 42 years old and Wakefield continues to remain a viable mixed league option. He's a must-start on July 3 when he and the Red Sox host the Mariners.
