Coco Crisp almost makes a great defensive play in centerfield on Izturis. Crisp dives and gets the ball in his glove, but he loses it as he hits the ground. Izturs gets a double, the first extra-base hit allowed by Schilling in the game.

Update: Kendrick grounds to second, moving Izturis to third. The Angels don't have that many outs left, however, so even productive ones are costly.

Update: Rivera pops out to first on a split-finger that was sinking fast. Schilling's doing a great job today of keeping the Angels hitters off balance.

Update: Schilling strikes out Napoli to end the inning and get a short shutout. At 100 pitches, Curt is unlikely to come out for the eighth. It's an impressive outing that seems to be the norm for the new Schilling. He strikes out just four, and he only walked one. Instead of striking out a lot of batters, Schilling is causing them to hit the ball poorly. He's getting a lot of outs even with a lot of balls in play. The Red Sox defense helps there as well.
