Wake Leaves with Lead

Tim Wakefield’s second rehab start is over, and he pitched very well.

Wakefield pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up one run on two hits, one of which was a home run to DH Justin Huber.  He walked one and struck out four.  He hit the final batter he faced, who incidentally was Huber.  He threw 81 pitches, 56 for strikes.

Wakefield may earn the win as Pawtucket scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth and lead 2-1.
