Mother’s Day has a good ring to it at Fenway Park. The most memorable game the Sox played was the “Mother’s Day miracle”, when they scored six runs in the bottom of the ninth inning against the Baltimore Orioles in 2007 for a dramatic win. Sunday’s game between Boston and the Cleveland Indians might not enter that realm of fame, but it was exactly what the home crowd needed: a blowout victory. The Sox opened scored often early and late, all part of a 12-1 win. Continue reading Pink Bats Explode for Red Sox in Dominant Mother’s Day Blowout »

The Red Sox aren’t accustomed to winning games at Fenway Park this season. In fact, Boston won consecutive games at their home park for the first time all year on Friday night. The 4-1 win over Cleveland was highlighted by a terrific outing by southpaw Felix Doubront, who held the Indians lineup to just three hits over his six innings of work. The offense contributed enough support for him, and the bullpen was sharp to close out the win.

Doubront was opposed by Zach McAllister, filling in for original starter Josh Tomlin who was sent to the disabled list with a sore wrist before the game.

With the bases loaded and one out, Will Middlebrooks doubled a line drive to left, giving Boston a 2-1 lead after the Indians scored off of Buchholz in the top half of the inning.
