The Red Sox and Diamondbacks have each won a game in this series, lost a game, and the Drew brothers have battled to a draw.
Red Sox outfielder J.D. Drew, who has had an MVP-caliber June, and young brother Stephen, the Diamondbacks shortstop, are both hitless in the series. Stephen was 0-for-9 in the first two games, and J.D. was 0-for-7, although he did hit a sacrifice fly for the only Red Sox run in Monday’s 2-1 loss.
J.D. was held out of tonight’s game with lefthander Randy Johnson on the mound for the D’backs.

Kevin Youkilis, who went in for defensive purposes in the ninth inning last night in the Sox’ 5-4 win, was back in the starting lineup tonight at first base. He was wearing non-presciption sunglasses in the field to protect his black eye but not wearing them when he batted. Terry Francona said after last night’s game he was hoping to find a pair of clear glasses somewhere but apparently came up empty.
“You know the players,” he said. “They all have these Oakleys, but they’re all sunglasses.”
I guess Eric Gagne didn't leave his goggles behind in the clubhouse.

Tonight’s game featured an unusual matchup of quadragenarian starting pitchers: 44-year-old Johnson against 41-year-old Tim Wakefield. Between the two of them, they total 86 years and 252 days in age.
The oldest pitching matchup in major-league history was a stunt by the Kansas City Athletics on Sept. 25, 1965. The Red Sox’ Bill Monbouquette, a young 29 years and 45 days old, faced Satchel Paige, who came out of retirement at the age of 59 years and 81 days to make one start. Paige pitched three innings of one-hit scoreless ball. Carl Yastrzemski got the only hit, a single.
The last matchup of 40-year-olds was last year on Sept. 16 when the Red Sox’ Curt Schilling (40) faced the Yankees’ Roger Clemens (45).
