The Red Sox and Dodgers complete a huge blockbuster deal, with Boston getting rid of $260 million in future salary

The Red Sox and Dodgers complete a huge blockbuster deal, with Boston getting rid of $260 million in future salary by sending 1B Adrian Gonzalez, P Josh Beckett, OF Carl Crawford and IF Nick Punto to Los Angeles. In return, they receive 1B James Loney and four prospects: Ps Rubby De La Rosa and Allen Webster, IF Ivan DeJesus and OF/1B Jerry Sands. Both Crawford and De La Rosa are recovering from Tommy John surgery and will not play until next season. Gonzalez makes the biggest immediate impact, hitting a three-run homer in his first at-bat as a Dodger to key an 8 – 2 win over the Marlins. For their part, the Sox blow a 9 – 3 lead and lose to Kansas City, 10 – 9, in 12 innings, with none of the new acquisitions in the line-up.

The first Yankees-Red Sox game to go beyond 14 innings without a run being scored in the fabled rivalry between the American League clubs ends dramatically when Alex Rodriguez hits a game-winning home run

The Yankees and Red Sox are locked in a scoreless tie for 14 innings until Alex Rodriguez hits a game-winning home run in the 15th off Junichi Tazawa, making his major league debut, for a 2 – 0 Yankee win. Tazawa took the place of veteran John Smoltz, who was designated for assignment earlier in the day after being roughed up in yesterday’s 13 – 6 slugfest. Former Marlin teammates Josh Beckett and A.J. Burnett set the tone for the game by pitching 7 and 7 2/3 scoreless innings respectively.

CC Sabathia beats out Red Sox ace Josh Beckett for the American League Cy Young Award

Given their postseason match-ups of the CYA candidates, many baseball observers are surprised when CC Sabathia (19-7, 3.21) beats out Red Sox ace Josh Beckett (20-7, 3.27) for the American League Cy Young Award. In the ALCS, the 27 year-old Indian southpaw faced Beckett twice and lost each time, but voting takes place at the end of the regular season.

In interleague play, Josh Beckett hits a solo home run, picks up an RBI single, and pitches seven solid innings to lead the Boston Red Sox over the Philadelphia Phillies, 8 – 4, at Citizens Bank Park. Because the designated hitter isn’t used in National League parks during interleague play, regular Red Sox DH David Ortiz starts at first base. Beckett posts his third straight win and gives the AL East-leading Boston its 10th victory in 13 games. He also becomes the first Red Sox pitcher to hit a home run since Marty Pattin on September 26, 1972.

Josh Beckett dominates Yankees to give Florida Marlins their second World Championship in 11 seasons

2003 – As the World Series heads back to Yankee Stadium, pitcher Josh Beckett, on three days’ rest, throws a complete game shutout, allowing just five hits, to give the Florida Marlins their second World Championship in 11 seasons with a 2 – 0 victory over the New York Yankees. Beckett is named Series MVP. This is the 100th and last World Series game ever played at Yankee Stadium, as the Marlins become the first opposing team to win a Series championship on the field at the famed ballpark since 1981, when the Los Angeles Dodgers did it. When the Yankees return to the Fall Classic in 2009, they will have moved into New Yankee Stadium.
