GAME NOTES: Josh Beckett looks to grab his 16th win and continue his exit from the doldrums. Boston will face Luke Hochevar, who recently learned that he was tipping his pitches and thinks it's part of his struggles since entering the majors.

Ah, the Royals...

And sometimes on a line-up card.Last night's start by Josh Beckett featuring Victor Martinez behind the plate should set every one's expectations for the October line-up: no Jason Varitek.
