World Series Game 1: Red Sox vs Rockies

Josh Beckett is continuing to make a case for himself as the best postseason pitcher of all time at only 27 years of age. Beckett won his 4th game of the postseason and kept his ERA below a phenominal 1.20.

While Beckett dominated, the Red Sox were breaking offensive records. They scored the most runs ever in a Game 1 of a World Series and they set the record for the most doubles hit in a World Series game. The scoring started when Dustin Pedroia led off the game with a homerun and from there, the Red Sox couldn't be stopped.

Every starter, with exception to Jacoby Ellsbury, collected a hit. Ortiz, Ramirez, Varitek, Drew, and Pedroia collected 2 RBIs apiece.

Beckett finished with 7 innings pitcher, 1 earned run, and 9 strikeouts to move to 4-0 in the 2007 postseason. Jeff Francis started the game for the Rockies and got lit up for 6 runs in 4 innings of work. The Red Sox put 7 more runs across against Franklin Morales, who was the first out of the bullpen to relieve Francis. Mike Timlin and Eric Gagne pitched perfect innings of relief in the 8th and 9th inning respectively.

The Red Sox lead the series 1-0, and look to take a 2-0 series lead on Thursday night with Curt Schilling on the hill. He will be opposed by Ubaldo Jimenez of the Rockies.
