Red Sox - 000 040 015 - 10 15 0 White Sox - 000 000 110 - 2 5 1Jon Lester allowed only five base runners in eight innings (8-4-2-1-8, 98) and the Red Sox batted around in both the fifth and ninth innings.
Phil Humber retired the first eight Boston batters (and 12 of 14), but he encountered some rough water in the fifth. Crawford singled, stole second, went to third when A.J. Pierzynski's throw bounced into center field, and scored on Saltalamacchia's double. Reddick singled and Scutaro's sac fly made it 2-0. Ellsbury singled and promptly stole second. Pedroia's sac fly to right brought in Reddick and after Gonzalez was intentionally walked, Youkilis singled home Ellsbury.
With two outs in the eighth, Reddick walked and Scutaro singled to right-center. When CF Alex Rios took his time getting the ball back to the infield, Reddick tore around third and scored. Rios -- who had been pulled in mid-game about a month ago for lack of hustle -- was loudly booed, both after the play and again when he led off the bottom of the eighth.
Facing the bearded Brian Bruney in the ninth, Pedroia singled, Gonzalez homered (7-2), Youkilis homered (8-2), Ortiz popped to CF, Crawford singled, Saltalamacchia doubled (9-2), Reddick fouled to third, and Scutaro singled (10-2).
Six Boston players had at least 2 hits, with Gonzalez reaching base four times. ... Scutaro drove in three runs. ... The 6-9 spots in the order reached base 10 times in 20 plate appearances, stole two bases, scored six runs, and had five RBI.
The Yankees swept a day-night doubleheader from the Orioles: 8-3 and 17-3. In the nightcap, New York scored 12 runs in the first inning, batting for 40 minutes and seeing 70 pitches! They are 2 GB the Red Sox in the East.
Humber started against the Red Sox on May 31, allowing only one run through seven innings, before giving up three runs in the eighth (two of which scored on a home run given up by a reliever).
AL East (Red Sox 2.5 GA): Orioles/Yankees at 1 PM and 7 PM.

SEA 2, FKR 1 (5)
No hits for Tampa.
Run came on BB, SB/E2, 6-3.
heh. just left this comment in the aviles post by mistake!
don mentions the red sox having problems beating the white sox "all of a sudden". then he mentions the streak starting at the beginning of the 2010 season. yeah -- "just like that!!"
damn - there goes the shot at a double no-no.
WOW, what a play by Yook. Damn!
Yikes, Cleveland getting Ubaldo
Just checked Extra Bases. They say Kuroda will not waive his no-trade clause.
Not A Typo:
MFY still batting in the bottom of the 1st, up 12-0.
MFY - Everyone in lineup has a hit, everyone has scored a run, and 7 of the 9 have an RBI.
1-5-3 how about that!
70 pitches thrown by 2 Baltimore pitchers in bottom of the 1st.
Fister and Furbush exchanged in a deal!
Is Ramirez throwing the game, allowing that throw to go into CF?
mmm salty treat
Old friend David Pauley goes over to the Tigers.
A salty ribeye plus more!
30 thefts for LBJ
CWS pen is up: oh, man!
A scrotum pair!
What? Ubaldo is warming up in the Rockies' pen....
I love it when they walk EB to get to Youk.
Morel = More Runs!
Heidi says Sox still in the running for Ubaldo.
Oh Man.
Jesus - MFY 15-0 in the 2nd.
Ive decided my honeymoon is going to be on the T&C Islands
The old farts will remember when box scores had only 4 columns: AB-R-H-RBI.
I was just reading something about games in which a lineup has no zeroes in that kind of box. Everyone has at least one at-bat, one hit, one run, and one RBI. After 2 innings, the only 0 remaining in the NYY box is Granderson's RBI total!
Tom & Caron?
Orioles are coming back! Now they trail 15-1.
(Highly unlikely, but how great would it be if the O's came back and won?)
Orioles are coming back! Now they trail 15-1.
Another zero gone from that box.
Granderson still needs an RBI.
BAL - 001
MFY - (12)3
Doesn't really work if it's not in courier. Yanks need 4 in the 3rd, though, obviously.
AL record for most runs in the first inning: 14

HUSTLE
Jerry roasted Rios for semi-lazy throw to the infield.
Lester at 82 pitches, coming back out for the 8th.
Beckham scores
Radio says that it looks like the Sox are going to get Rich Harden and that Lars Anderson was pulled from a game tonight.
CUADRANGULAR
EB!!!!!!!!!
Yep. Went to men's room and pantry ... dong!
BACK TO BACK
SULTAN OF SWEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!
we got harden? those breaks are muted on mlbtv
Harden for Anderson is the rumor.
And Jiminez to Indians looks like a go.
2-out BB - and the game is not Dunn.
Win.
Dirty!
After the EB dong, I texted Amy one word:
UNSTOPPABLE
While we were texting, Yook hit the next one.
Life is good.
I watched the Yankees get their asses kicked tonight. Unfortunately, it was the Staten Island Yankees.
