Throwbacks
A battle of old-timers last night ended with soon-to-be 40-year old Curt Schilling beating 43-year old Jamie Moyer and the Mariners, 2-1. Moyer made his debut in 1986 with the Cubs; Schilling made his two years later with the Orioles. Combined, the two brought 397 wins (Moyer 205, Schilling 192) and more than 4600 strikeouts (Schilling 2800, Moyer 1800) to the mound last night at Fenway, and both dueled admirably. In the end, light-hitting Alex Gonzalez came up with the key hit for the Sox, driving in their two runs with a double in the 4th. Jonathan "Lil' Mariano" Papelbon rang up save No. 5.
