Center Right Smash Salvage Over Zobrist

Baseball Betting Lines

The Red Sox, winners in seven of their last eight, moved a half-game ahead of the Yankees, into first place in the AL East.

 

The Red Sox caught a break and went ahead for good in the fourth inning. Reddick reached first on Arrieta's error on a poor umpiring call at first base. Reddick's bouncer was knocked down by Derrek Lee, whose flip to first appeared in time to get the out. Replays showed Arrieta's heel touched the bag, but first base umpire Mike Estabrook signaled safe. Saltalamacchia singled and J.D. Drew's groundout to first made it a 4-3 game.

 

Viola came on in relief of Jason Berken with one out in the seventh, but was greeted with three consecutive long balls. First it was Ortiz who hit a ball to center, then Reddick to right, and finally Saltalamacchia to left-center.

 

Vladimir Guerrero scored on Lee's groundout in the eighth.

 

Pedroia gave the Red Sox the lead with one swing of the bat in the third. Marco Scutaro walked on four pitches and Ellsbury drew another walk. Pedroia then homered out of the stadium, over the Green Monster.

 

Game Notes

 

Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Travis Hafner blasted a game-winning grand slam to complete a five-run ninth inning as the Cleveland Indians came from behind and snatch a 5-4 victory from the Toronto Blue Jays to open a four-game series. Toronto reliever Luis Perez (1-2) came into the game with the bases loaded but served up Hafner's towering shot to blow his second save and hand the Blue Jays a third straight loss.

 

Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Derek Jeter moved closer in his chase for 3,000 career hits, but Jeff Niemann and the Rays stole the show Thursday in a 5-1 victory over the Yankees in the opener of a four-game series. Jeter doubled in his first at-bat for hit No. 2,998, but came up empty in his next four plate appearances. Sean Rodriguez robbed him of a hit with a diving backhanded stab down the third-base line in the fifth, then nabbed him on a bang-bang play at first to end the game with two runners on base.

 

Ben Zobrist went 3-for-3 with two walks and finished a double short of the cycle, while B.J. Upton also homered and drove in three runs for the Rays, winners of two straight and four of six overall.

 

Bartolo Colon (6-4) yielded five runs on 10 hits and four walks in 5 2/3 frames to absorb his first loss since May 23.

 

The Yankees stranded four runners over the first two frames, and Zobrist doubled the Rays' lead with a leadoff homer in the third. Later in the inning, Upton's two-out single plated Casey Kotchman for a 3-0 cushion.
