My Comment: Four Red Sox players are going to the 82nd All-Star Game - Josh Beckett (3rd time), Jacoby Ellsbury (1st time), Adrian Gonzalez (4th time), and David Ortiz (7th time). Congratulations everyone! But where are Jon Lester and Dustin Pedroia? They should be on the All-Star list. Ortiz and Gonzalez will participate in the Home Run Derby. Oh, and by the way, Boston swept Houston with the win in the pitcher's duel of the third game. Now back to Fenway for two series before the All-Star break. Have fun at home guys!

BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Josh Beckett; Winning Pitcher: Josh Beckett (7)
HOUSTON: Starting Pitcher: Jordan Lyles; Losing Pitcher: Mark Melancon
BOSTON: Save: Jonathan Papelbon (17)

RED SOX: Wins 49, Losses 34, Percentage .590

Next Game: Monday 4 July 2011, 10:35 a.m.PT/1:35 p.m.ET, Toronto Blue Jays, Fenway Park, John Lackey
