May 18, 2008 Red Sox 10, Brewers 3

The hits are even at 11 apiece, but when the Red Sox turn on the power and bust open a back and forth game on a Coco Crisp 6th inning homer to go with Jacoby Ellsbury's solo shot and a 3-run bomb for Kevin Youkilis in the 7th, it spells the end for the Brew Crew. Chris Smith makes his major league debut today for the Sox, getting the final four outs while allowing one hit.

The Boston Red Sox had very little trouble at Fenway Park downing the
Milwaukee Brewers.  The score was 10 to 3.
 
Boston jumped on top to stay in the 4th inning when they scored 2 runs on 3
hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Julio Lugo who made the crowd come
alive when he doubled scoring two baserunners.  Boston and Milwaukee each
finished the afternoon with 11 hits.  
 
Josh Beckett(3-4) went 6 innings allowing 3 runs for the win. Carlos
Villanueva(3-6) absorbed the loss.  He gave up 5 hits and 4 walks in 4 and
2/3 innings.
