Red Sox send Seattle to 15th straight loss

Jarrod Saltalamacchia drove in four runs, Kevin Youkilis hit a two-run homer and host Boston collected 17 hits en route to extending Seattle's franchise-worst losing streak to 15 games with a 12-8 win Sunday.

Tim Wakefield (6-3) joined Roger Clemens as the only pitchers to strike out 2,000 batters with Boston and moved within one win of his 200th victory. The 44-year-old knuckleballer left after giving up Brendan Ryan's grand slam that cut the lead to 11-7 with one out in the seventh. "It seems like once again it's Groundhog Day," said Ryan, whose team now faces a three-game series with the Yankees. "This is definitely frustrating. There aren't too many laughs now. There shouldn't be."
