Red Sox continue to dominate Twins at Fenway Park
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 11 - 05 - 2011

runner Jose Iglesias raced around from first base to score off Carl Crawford's one-out double off the left-field wall in the bottom of the 11th inning to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 2-1 win over the Minnesota Twins.
Boston beat Minnesota in the final three games of a four-game series, and won for the 11th time in 12 games in Fenway Park.
The Red Sox closed out their longest homestand of the season at 6-5.
Hideki Okajima (1-0) pitched two innings, getting out of a two-on, one-out jams in each, for the win.
Jed Lowrie drew a one-out walk against Jim Hoey (0-1) and Iglesias pinch ran. Crawford lofted one off The Wall and Iglesias slid in just ahead of the throw from short left by shortstop Matt Tolbert, knocking catcher Rene Rivera over as he scored.
Tigers 10, Blue Jays 5: At Toronto, Max Scherzer won his sixth consecutive decision and Victor Martinez hit a two-run homer as Detroit beat Toronto.
Scherzer (6-0) has not lost in eight starts this season.
Athletics 7, Rangers 2: At Arlington, Texas, Trevor Cahill pitched seven strong innings to earn his sixth straight win to start the season, and Josh Willingham homered and drove in five runs as Oakland beat Texas.
White Sox 8, Angels 0: At Anaheim, California, Edwin Jackson pitched seven superb innings for his first victory in more than a month, and Carlos Quentin homered and drove in five runs as Chicago routed Los Angeles.
Phillies beat Marlins
The Philadelphia Phillies turned in four double plays behind the pitching of Joe Blanton, who came off the disabled list to his first victory of the season by helping to beat the Florida Marlins 6-4 Monday.
Blanton (1-1) allowed eight hits but left with a 6-3 lead.
He made his first start since April 23 after being sidelined with an impingement in his throwing elbow.
The Phillies won for the 18th time in their past 21 games in Miami.
The Marlins' start matches the best in franchise history, but they've lost four of their past five games to fall three behind the National League East-leading Phillies (23-11), who have the best record in the majors.
Javier Vazquez (2-3), who lasted only 4 1-3 innings, allowed nine hits and six runs, five earned.
Gaby Sanchez of Florida drove in three runs with his fifth homer and a double.
Brewers 4, Padres 3: At Milwaukee, Zack Greinke struck out nine batters over six effective innings in his home debut and Rickie Weeks homered to lift Milwaukee over San Diego. Greinke (1-1) bounced back from a disappointing start Wednesday for his first win with the Brewers by allowing five hits to the struggling Padres, who came in with a major league-worst .215 batting average.
Reds 6, Astros 1: At Houston, Travis Wood hit a three-run homer and pitched shutout ball into the seventh inning to lead Cincinnati over Houston.
Rockies 2, Mets 1: At Denver, Chris Iannetta broke a seventh-inning tie with a homer that barely cleared the left-field wall as Colorado snapped its four-game skid.
Pirates 4, Dodgers 1: At Pittsburgh, Neil Walker hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning as surging Pittsburgh beat Los Angeles to move above .500 in mid-May for the first time in seven years.
