Boston chased Clemens with six runs in the fourth inning, sending the Rocket to his earliest exit -- not related to an injury -- since June 6, 1999, against the New York Mets.
Many of the same Boston fans who gave Clemens a standing ovation last Sunday at Fenway Park to thank him for all his years in Beantown derisively serenaded with catcalls of "Ro-ger, Ro-ger" before he trudged off the mound after only 3 1-3 innings.
While Clemens (13-9) fell to 2-3 vs. the Red Sox this year in his final regular-season appearance against them, Wakefield (10-6) bamboozled the Yankees with his knuckleball.
Wakefield shut out New York on four hits for seven innings, and won for the first time in six starts. He retired the first 11 batters as Boston piled up a big lead and escaped mild threats the next two innings.
