Tampa 5, Sox 1

Scott Kazmir's wildness, which led Red Sox pitchers to throw at Tampa hitters in 2004 -- according to Curt Schilling, was not in evidence Thursday. Kazmir struck out seven in 5 2/3 innings and walked only one in leading Tampa Bay over the Sox.

Jonny Gomes homered twice, off Tim Wakefield and Julian Tavares. The Sox managed only six hits, the biggest being a second-inning homer by Dustan Mohr.

The Sox are in Toronto tonight, and Josh Beckett (3-0, 1.29) takes his turn in his game of HORSE with Curt Schilling. Beckett will face former Marlins teammate A.J. Burnett (0-1, 6.00).
