Beckett should stay in the game and give the bullpen the rest.

they haven't pitched in almost a week. they have an off day on Monday. the bullpen is and should be more than rested.

I phrased that badly. I know they're rested.

I want to minimize the chance they could become exhausted if they're used extensively in the next few games. All it takes is a couple bad starts to drain the bullpen. Beckett's at exactly 80 pitches through 6 IP. He can easily go 7 and probably 8. If the lead stays at 5+, send Gagne out to close the game.
