| If the Phillies are going to be cooled off, losing the Sox is a good way to do it as two of the top four teams in baseball do battle. David Ortiz's first start of interleague play at first base goes flawlessly on defense, and he also shines on offense with a grand slam homerun in the 5th to knock Phils starter Joe Blanton from the game. Blanton allows all 6 Sox runs for his first loss in over a month, and Jon Lester on the Sox side strikes out 10 for his AL leading 9th win of the year. All three Phillie runs come on homeruns with a Carlos Ruiz dinger of Lester in the 5th and a 2-run rip for Ryan Howard in the bottom of the 9th off Manny Declarmen. Youk also homered for the Sox with a solo shot, with their other run coming on a Pedroia sac fly. FYI, the other two top four teams besides the Sox and Phils are #2 Texas (36-24) and #1 Colorado (36-23). |

David Ortiz hit a grand slam and Jon Lester whiffed 10 batters as the Boston
Red Sox defeated the Philadelphia Phillies by the score of 6 to 3 at
Citizen's Bank Park.
Lester(9-2) looked very much in control throughout the night. He was stingy
on the mound, allowing just 3 hits and 2 walks in 7 innings. Overall Boston
out-hit Philadelphia 9 to 5.
Joe Blanton(5-2) was charged with the loss. He was knocked around pretty good,
giving up 6 runs in 4 and 2/3 innings. 'Everything felt great' Lester said.
'I had a good fastball, I felt I could throw it by everybody tonight.'
