Bright Sunday morning

I woke up to rain and clouds, but the outlook is good for the SoxandPhils after a Saturday in which everything went right. The Phillies swept a doubleheader against the Nationals, and Brad Lidge recorded a save with a rare 2009 scoreless appearance. Then, the nightcap ended in the 6th inning, preserving a bullpen that was needed early and is already overtaxed after Friday's extra innings.

Josh Beckett threw his best game since opening day to beat the Mariners 5-3, ending the Red Sox three-game losing streak. David Ortiz is expected to remain on the bench through today's game.
