My Comment: Another day of four ejections, but no ruckus on the field. Considering where the Red Sox began in April, it is wonderful that they are leading the AL East at the All-Star break. And apparently Jon Lester has been named an All-Star, but since he is on the disabled list, he won't be able to pitch and someone else will take his place. So the Red Sox end up with six All-Stars and that is definitely want I was expecting. Great first half plus guys! Have a fantastic break. Good luck in the Home Run Derby and the All-Star Game! Then the season picks up on the road against Tampa Bay. Let's have an even better second half!

BALTIMORE: Starting Pitcher: Mitch Atkins; Losing Pitcher: Jeremy Guthrie
BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Kyle Weiland; Winning Pitcher: Alfredo Aceves (4)
BOSTON: Save: Jonanathan Papelbon (20)
BALTIMORE: Homerun: Derrek Lee
BOSTON: Homeruns: Marco Scutaro (4), Dustin Pedroia (11), Kevin Youkilis (13)

RED SOX: Wins 55, Losses 35, Percentage .611

Next Game: Friday 15 July 2011, 4:10 p.m.PT/7:10 p.m.ET, Tampa Bay Rays, Tropicana Field
