GAME LOG
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Mike Lieberthal homered twice and drove in five runs as the Philadelphia Phillies sent the Boston Red Sox to their fourth straight loss, 9-3 Saturday night. With Pedro Martinez scratched because of a sore left ribcage, knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (1-4) made his third start of the season for Boston, which matched its longest losing streak of the season. Wakefield gave up six runs -- four earned -- and seven hits in 4 2/3 innings and Boston dropped to 5-7 against Philadelphia. Lieberthal had an RBI single in the third, a solo homer in the sixth and a three-run shot in the eighth off Rob Stanifer. Lieberthal, who has seven homers this year, had his first multihomer game of the season, the fifth of his career. Wolf (5-3), coming off a six-hitter against Los Angeles, struck out nine in seven innings, allowing two runs, three hits and four walks. He gave up Carl Everett's RBI single in the fourth, and Nomar Garciaparra's leadoff homer in the sixth . Garciaparra's homer was the 100th of his career. He is 12-for-20 in his last five games. Philadelphia went ahead in the first inning when Lieberthal's one-out grounder went right through the legs of third baseman Wilton Veras, allowing Kevin Sefcik to score from second on the error. Philadelphia made it 3-0 in the third after Doug Glanville led off with a single and stole second, and Bobby Abreu reached on a passed ball as he struck out and the knuckleball eluded catcher Jason Varitek. Lieberthal and Pat Burrell followed with RBI singles. Sefcik hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth for a 4-1 lead. The Phillies made it 4-1 in the fourth with a sacrifice fly by Sefcik, and added two more runs in the sixth on Lieberthal's first homer and a bases-loaded walk by Glanville. Boston scored an unearned run in the eighth off Chris Brock on consecutive errors by shortstop Desi Relaford and Everett's sacrifice fly. Game notesFrye was 0-for-4, snapping his 12-game hitting streak. ... Lieberthal has thrown out four of the last six runners attempting to steal. | ALSO SEE Baseball Scoreboard Boston Clubhouse Philadelphia Clubhouse RECAPS Atlanta 11 NY Yankees 7
