Damon gets one back

Posted by Michael Vega, Globe Staff August 26, 2008 08:49 PM

NEW YORK --- Johnny Damon continued to feast on Tim Wakefield's knuckleball, taking the Sox starter deep to right for a solo homer with one out in the bottom of the fifth.

It was Damon's second homer of the game, 11th of the season, and 11th multi-homer game of his career. The last time Damon had two homers in a game was July 30, 2006, vs. Tampa Bay.

Sox spokesman John Blake just passed through the press box with the following update on Bartolo Colon's rehab outing at Lehigh Valley: Colon pitched 3 innings and gave up four runs (three earned) with one walk, and three strikeouts. He threw 60 pitches, 37 for strikes, and allowed all four runs in the second inning and came back and struck out the side in the third.
