Josh Beckett allowed four hits and three runs in 6.1 innings of work in Boston's 5-3 win over the Mariners in game one of a double-header on Wednesday. In improving to 4-3 on the season, he struck out seven and walked one.

Our View: The quality start was just his third in seven outings since coming off of the disabled list on July 23. Considering it came against the Mariners, his good day is not as encouraging as it otherwise may have been.

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%
