BOSTON – Tim Wakefield knows better than anyone what has been at stake in his last six starts. He also knows his team holds a tenuous lead over the Yankees.Since his last win, July 24 against the Mariners, Wakefield has been on the doorstep of his 200th career victory. In six attempts, though, he has been thwarted each time. While the Red Sox have managed just two wins in that span, Wakefield is 0-4 with two no-decisions. The numbers and their historical context are important to him. But no more than his team winning.Friday night against the A’s at Fenway Park, he was unable to add on to his 199 career wins. He did not even have the consolation of a no-decision this time, as he and his team were pummeled by Oakland, 15-5.Wakefield lasted just four innings, his shortest start of the season and shortest outing since going two innings against the Rangers on July 15, 2010. He gave up eight runs (four earned) on eight hits and two walks, with three strikeouts and a wild pitch, taking the loss as his record fell to 6-6 and his ERA climbed to 5.10.”I think the biggest disappointment is that I didn’t get deep in the game,” said Wakefield. “I’ve got to take my personal numbers and throw them out the window right now. We’re trying to hold onto a one-game lead in the East, and the biggest thing coming off a long road trip like that, is to try to win the game, for us, for the team, not for me personally. That [200th] win will eventually happen, hopefully. But I think the thing I pride myself most in, is to try to give the club quality innings and get deep in the game, and not have to use the bullpen like we did tonight.”Wakefield gave up a season high for runs in an inning with six in the fourth, passing his previous high of five runs in the fifth in Baltimore on July 18. The A’s did all their damage with two outs, including two-run home runs by Scott Sizemore and Josh Willingham and a two-run double by Hideki Matsui.The six runs also match a season high for runs allowed in an inning by any Sox pitcher this season.”Not a real good night (for Wakefield),” said manager Terry Francona. “Kind of an inconsistent knuckleball tonight – some he threw so well and had sharp break and then some were up. Then it looked like we get the third out and the ball gets by [catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia] because it IS moving and they tack on four more. So just kind of a rough night all the way around.”I just think Wake had a tough night. This last streak he’s been on where he’s trying to get this win, there’s been a lot of things happen, where he’s left the game with leads (twice) and we’ve either given them up or something’s happened.”With a doubleheader scheduled for Saturday (the Red Sox won both games against the Oakland A’s), giving the Sox three games in the span of about 24 hours, the Sox needed Wakefield to go deep into the game. But, he was unable to do that.In the fifth, the Sox turned to Scott Atchison, who was called up from Triple-A Pawtucket earlier in the day to bolster the bullpen. He gave up one run in three innings. Matt Albers pitched one inning, giving up four runs. And, Darnell McDonald, who had not pitched since high school, took the ninth inning, allowing two runs.”I think that’s my biggest disappointment,” said Wakefield about having the doubleheader on Saturday and only going four innings.”I take a lot of pride in trying to stop the bleeding there too, and trying to pick up my teammates. I wasn’t able to do that. Unfortunately I couldn’t stop the bleeding there in the fourth.”The Sox returned from Texas at about 5 a.m. Friday. Wakefield, though, had returned to Boston on Thursday, to prevent any potential fatigue. He has now pitched 130 2/3 innings in 28 games and 19 starts this season. Fatigue and workload were not an issue, he said.”I feel great,” he said. “I thought I had some pretty good movement on the ball, except for the end of the fourth inning, and the ball started leaving the ballpark.”Wakefield, if he remains in the rotati
