My Comment: Congratulations to Jacoby Ellsbury on the first walk-off hit of his career! What a way to break the hitless game he had been having - right up the middle!! The Red Sox are still in first place in the AL East and still have the best record in the American League. A great beginning to the new month!

BOSTON: Starting Pitcher: Josh Beckett; Winning Pitcher: Jonathan Papelbon (3)
