Beckett won't blame injury for rare poor performance (usatoday.com)

The Boston Red Sox's 11-game postseason winning streak against the Los Angeles Angels is over, and so is starting pitcher Josh Beckett's run of playoff dominance. Beckett, pitching for the first time since suffering a side injury the last week of the regular season, allowed 13 baserunners in five innings of work as the Los Angeles Angels beat the Red Sox 5-4 in 12 innings Sunday night.
