There is a New Ace in Town

Schilling proves once and for all that he is the Ace of this staff.
After going 7 strong innings and only allow 1 run through the first 6 innings Curt stopped the bleeding for the faltering Sox. But good pitching cant do it alone. Ortiz, Belhorn, and Youkilis all had Curt's back with long ball support. Before leaving Curt gave up 2 more runs in the seventh, but with 8 runs on the board the Sox fate for the night was already set.

"He's been that go-to guy who stops (losing) streaks." -- OF Johnny Damon on RHP Curt Schilling, who has supplanted RHP Pedro Martinez for ace status on the squad in the season's early months.
