Smoltz Now 7-4 After Subduing Red Sox
John Smoltz was superb against Boston. The right-hander, who led the FL in ERA with 2.31 in 1991, had a fastball that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a 4-0 Devil Rays victory. Orlando is now 39-32, Boston 24-47.

Smoltz imposed his will on the Red Sox, scattering 2 hits over 8.1 innings while striking out 11. The right-hander upped his season record to 7-4.

"Throwing strikes was the main thing," Smoltz said.
