Wakefield walks Edmonds and Sanders to start the fourth. We'll see if Womack is willing to take some pitches.

Update: Womack walks. The soft underbelly of the Cardinals lineup is at bat now. Can the 8-9 hitters deliver?

Update: Matheny has a good AB and files to shallow right. Edmonds scores as Millar cuts the ball off, but Millar makes an error trying to get Sanders at third, throwing the ball into the dugout. That scores another run and puts Womack at third. Womack scores on a Taguchi ground out.

The 8-9 hitters make outs, but at least they put the ball in play and with the help of a Red Sox mistake, get all three runners home. It's 7-5 in the fourth.

Wakefield walks Renteria to make Walker the tying run at the plate. Francona has seen enough, and Bronson Arroyo is coming in to try to end the inning.

Update: Larry Walker gets a single to make the situation 1st and 3rd with two out and Pujols at the plate. Walker just needs a triple for the cycle.

Update: Pujols grounds out. It's not a night for the pitchers.
