Josh Beckett's 100th career victory may have been his best

The Red Sox ace capped a brilliant first half of the season with a three-hitter, joining teammate Tim Wakefield as the only 11-game winners in the AL as the Boston Red Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 6-0 Sunday.

"It's pretty memorable" to post his 100th win, Beckett said, "and the way I did it is cool."
