Red Sox seeking sweep of struggling Giants

Jun 17, 2007 - 1:32 PM San Francisco (30-37) at Boston (43-24) 2:05 pm EDT

BOSTON (Ticker) - The Boston Red Sox go for a three-game series sweep when they host the San Francisco Giants in the finale of a three-game interleague series on Sunday.

Boston will send knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (6-7, 3.92 ERA) to the mound against the Giants, who have lost three straight and 15 of 21 games. Wakefield is coming off his best start of the season, allowing one run in eighth innings during a 2-1 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday.

Giants starter Matt Morris (7-3, 2.56) is coming off his second complete game of the season, allowing three runs in a 4-3 win over the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. Morris has pitched seven or more innings in eight of his last 10 starts.

Daisuke Matsuzaka tossed seven superb innings and Manny Ramirez belted his 479th career home run to lead the Red Sox to a 1-0 triumph over the Giants here on Saturday. Giants slugger Barry Bonds has two walks and a single in six at-bats in the series thus far. The seven-time NL MVP remains eight home runs shy of Hank Aaron's all-time mark of 755.
