Beckett debuts

Josh Beckett is on the hill, in his Sox debut, in the third inning. He's throwing gas, and appears to be focusing predominantly on his fastball (of his 22 pitches through two innings, 19 were fastballs). But, Tampa Bay's hitters are sitting on it. Julio Lugo, the guy the Sox considered trading for before they signed Alex Gonzalez, took Beckett out of the park to lead off the game. And Jonny Gomes hit a towering solo shot later in the inning. Beckett has given up three more runs in the third. Rays 5, Sox 0.
