Game 97: Master and Commander

In Josh Beckett's return from Nowhereland, Commander Kickass went 98 decent pitches, going 5 2/3 innings against the Mariners. However, he didn't get the win, since Bad Bill Hall's 7th inning homer was needed to push Boston over the top in a 2-1 win. Boston remains 7 games out in the increasingly irrelevant division race.
