SEATTLE – Kevin Youkilis set a Red Sox franchise record Monday night by playing his 120th consecutive errorless game at first base, eclipsing the mark held by Stuffy McInnis, who had a 119-game streak in 1921. Youkilis’ last error at first was July 4, 2006 in Tampa. He has handled more than 1,054 chances since then.
Lowell tossed?
It appeared that third baseman Mike Lowell was ejected by home-plate umpire Jim Reynolds after the final out of the game. Lowell tossed the bat in apparent disgust after a called third strike. Reynolds then pointed at him, the usual signal for an ejection. The two continued to jaw as they left the field for the dugout.
Here and there
David Ortiz stole his first base of the season in the third . . . Former Red Sox catcher and coach Bill Haselman visited with players, coaches and manager Terry Francona before the game. Haselman lives in the Seattle area and is doing some part-time work for KIRO Radio as well as working as an investment broker.
