Boston Red Sox SP Josh Beckett (3-3) took a two-hit shutout into the sixth inning before giving up four straight hits with one out, leading to four Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim runs, according to The Associated Press' Jimmy Golen. The Angels eventually won 7-2, dropping Beckett to .500. 'He hit his spots all night and then he missed three or four consecutive hitters,' Red Sox manager Terry Francona said. 'Sometimes you need a break, maybe a foul ball. It just happened. He was very good up until that point. It was nothing physical and then he came back and got the hitters after that.' In all, Beckett allowed six runs, seven hits and two walks, striking out six.

Player Profile #84: Josh Beckett | SP | BOS

It took buckets of fried chicken and beer to slow down Josh Beckett last year (5.84 ERA in Sept.), but that didn’t stop him from having a nice comeback from his disastrous 2010 campaign. Beckett will never shake his injury woes, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a reliable fantasy pitcher. He’s reached the 190-inning mark in two of his last three seasons and if you look at his underlying stats he’s been fairly consistent, but you wouldn’t know that by looking at his ERA. His low BABIP limited his strikeout potential last season despite him putting up his best SwStr% (10.5%) since 2004 so owners who invest should expect an uptick in his 22.8 K%
