Feelin' Lowe

Despite a 13-4 loss to the Orioles, the Red Sox remain tied with the Yankees for first place in the AL East, as the Yankees had no game yesterday. However, the problems continued for Derek Lowe, who he gave up eight hits and four walks - good for seven runs - and who saw his ERA rise to a distinctly mediocre 6.84.

All is not doom and gloom in Boston, however - Nomar Garciaparra had a good day in the second outing of his rehab assignment with Pawtucket. Things seem to be going well for Nomar, and June 8th is now being touted as the date he could conceivably return to the Red Sox lineup.
