August 30, 2006 Red Sox 1, A's 0
| Curt Schilling is spectacular as he gets win number 15, a 3-hit, 11 strikeout shutout of the A's. Barry Zito was nearly as good, only allowing 2 hits but got an early hook in the 6th because he had walked 5 batters. The Sox score their lone run in the 8th, as after Mike Lowell led off with a double and Gabe Kapler and Doug Mirabelli both flied out, Eric Hinske knocks Lowell in via a single. It was a 1-9 chance that Lowell would score, but I decided to go for it and it came up a 2! I was debating when it came to the 9th whether to bring Papelbon in, but he had pitched each of the last 3 days and the rest of the bullpen has also pitched a lot lately, so Schilling stayed in and proceeds to strike out the side in the 9th to get the shutout. |

Curt Schilling held Oakland scoreless on just 3 hits at McAfee Coliseum as the
Boston Red Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 1 to 0.
Schilling(15-9) simply dominated Oakland. He didn't give up much, just 3 hits
and 1 walk in 9 innings. Schilling racked up 11 strikeouts improving his ERA
from 4.89 to 4.66. Boston had only 5 hits for the afternoon.
Kiko Calero(5-5) was the loser in relief. He surrendered 1 run and 2 hits in
3 innings. 'Everything felt great' Schilling said. 'I had a good fastball, I
felt I could throw it by everybody today.'
