Eric Wedge allows Fausto Carmona to complete a shutout with 121 pitches. It's the seventh complete game of the week. Remember, on Sunday, Jeremy Guthrie was pulled from a game in which he had just allowed a base runner -- on an error. The Red Sox came back with six runs in the inning to win the game.

I wonder if that was a wake up call to managers. Normally, they remove pitchers when their pitch count gets to around 100, or if it's a save situation in the ninth. Note that before this week, the first six weeks produced only 20 complete games. Was Guthrie's game the catalyst?
