Timlin to close it out...maybe

Mike Timlin has entered to pitch the ninth. Timlin and fellow graybeard Tim Wakefield were honored in a pregame ceremony for being the oldest duo to combine to pitch a shutout back on May 6, when Wake went the first eight and Timlin the ninth in a 5-0 whitewash of the Tigers in Detroit. Team vice chairman Phil Morse did the honors in presenting them a plaque.
Rough start, though, for Timlin, as he surrendered back to back doubles to Aubrey Huff and Kevin Millar to make it 6-2. Paps is warming up.
