Red Sox lowlight: Jed Lowrie's throwing error
My Comment: Welcome Cubs to Fenway! After the initial reception the Red Sox gave the rare visitors, it may be another 93 years before the Cubs return. Boston has its highest number of hits and runs this season in the overwhelming defeat of Chicago. Almost every Red Sox player joined in the festivities in some fashion. And the best outcome of this seventh straight win is that the Red Sox are now in second place in the AL East for the first time this season, passing you-know-who in third place. First place is in sight!
CHICAGO CUBS: Starting Pitcher: Doug Davis; Losing Pitcher: Doug Davis
BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Jon Lester; Winning Pitcher: Jon Lester (6)
BOSTON: Save: Scott Atchison (1)
BOSTON: Homeruns: Kevin Youkilis (8), Jarrod Saltalamacchia (2)
RED SOX: Wins 24, Losses 20, Percentage .545
Next game: Saturday 21 May 2011, 4:10 p.m.PT/7:10 p.m.ET, Chicago Cubs, Fenway Park, Alfredo Aceves
