Sox keep sliding

The Red Sox continued their losing skid last night in Miami, taking the loss 4-1 against the Marlins. Former Fish Josh Beckett started for Boston, but he gave up four early runs against Miami. Jose Reyes started off the night for the Marlins with a long triple to right-center field, and Miami went on to score three in the inning, as well as another in the second. Meanwhile, Josh Johnson hurled seven impressive innings, giving up just 4 hits and a run while striking out seven, and Heath Bell was able to shut out Boston. I knew that once the Sox had given up the four easy ones, they were not going to come back against JJ, one of the premier pitchers in the National League. And the only bright spot for Boston was a sacrifice fly for Adrian Gonzalez. While it is nice to see A-Gone finally producing for Boston, he needs to start hitting in the clutch, as does the rest of the team. Boston was 0-4 with runners in scoring position, and that contributed to their loss. Boston's fourth straight loss sent them to 6.5 games back of the Yankees and Rays, at 29-32.

Worth noting
This was Beckett's first start against his old club.
Boston is 2-5 in interleague play this season.
