Sox Sweep up House and Leave Town

Boston Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield, left, and shortstop Orlando Cabrera congratulate one another following Boston's 6-4 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Fenway Park in Boston on Wednesday, Aug. 18, 2004.

This homestand was very important to us," Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield said after picking up the win on Wednesday night. "You're getting down to the wire ... and you've got one (playoff) spot between four or five teams, you know, so it's going to be a grind. I like our chances."

Millar continued to contribute as he added two more RBI Wednesday night.

We've been playing good baseball the last two weeks," said Kevin Millar, whose 10-game hitting streak (.436) is one reason why. "This is what it's all about, the last six weeks of the season."

Schilling takes the mound for the Sox in the south side of Chicago on Friday night.
