My Comment: Such a different game from yesterday's low-scoring, pitcher's duel of a contest. The Red Sox remembered how to hit and did so mightily! Actually both teams were hitting machines today. Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz deserve special mention - Dustin with his almost hit for the cycle and David with five RBIs. Great! And on the team level, not only is Boston still leading in the AL East, the team has the best record in all of the American League. Way to go Red Sox!
