Quote: "I could tell because no one would sit with me in the dugout around the third or fourth inning." -- Red Sox pitcher Tim Wakefield, who had a no-hitter for 6 2/3 innings.

It's a fact: After yesterday's crowd of 39,249, the Mariners are down 85,181 in attendance after 23 dates.

Who's hot: The Red Sox's Midre Cummings has five RBIs in seven pinch-hit at-bats.

Who's not: Athletics shortstop Kurt Abbott made three errors in the seventh inning.

On deck: The Tigers have played just 11 home games and 21 on the road. They get today off, then begin a seven-game homestand.
