FORT MILL, S.C. (AP) -- Curt Schilling took a big step toward rejoining the Boston Red Sox's rotation by pitching five strong innings for Triple-A Pawtucket on Wednesday night in his first start since injuring his right ankle in April.
``I feel good, good,'' Schilling said. ``This was a very positive step.''
Schilling threw 78 pitches -- 54 of them strikes -- and allowed a run on five hits. He struck out three, walked one and left to a standing ovation from the many Boston fans who turned out to see the World Series champion's ace.
