| Revenge is sweet as the Sox rip the Indians in the first game of a two game mini-series, trying to avenge for the first round playoff losses to the Tribe the last three seasons. The scoreboard is lit up as the balls go flying out of the park as the Red Sox get a season high for runs. Kevin Youkilis has the biggest day, ripping 2 homeruns and a double for a 4 for 5, 5 RBI, 4 run day. Dustin Pedroia throws his two cents worth in with a homer and also a 4 for 5 day knocking in 3 runs. JD Drew and Manny Ramirez add their shots in for 5 Sox homeruns in the game. Blessed with some runs behind him finally, Jon Lester is able to get his first win of the year as despite not allowing more than three runs in any of his previous three starts including losses of 3-2 and 1-0 scores, all he had to show for it was an 0-2 record. |

Third baseman Kevin Youkilis rocketed 2 homeruns and had 5 RBI at Progressive
Field as the Boston Red Sox, running on all cylinders, ripped the Cleveland
Indians by a large 13 to 3 margin.
Youkilis provided much of the offense. He smashed a solo-shot out of the park
in the 2nd inning, belted a three-run homer (his 3rd of the season) in the
3rd inning, doubled bringing in a run in the 8th inning and delivered a
base-hit in the 9th inning. Boston had many opportunities throughout the
game and scored in 6 separate innings.
The victory went to Jon Lester(1-2) who went 6 and 2/3 innings, allowing 3
runs. Jake Westbrook(2-1) suffered the loss. He served up 3 homeruns in his
7 innings.
'I've spent a lot of time in the cage and made some adjustments and they've
paid off,' Youkilis said. 'I just take the same approach up there. I don't
overanalyze it. I go up there, see the ball and try to put a good swing on
it.'
