Arrieta For Right 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.

 

Gonzalez, who sat out Wednesday's game due to a stiff neck, homered to center field with one out in the fifth, and Ellsbury smacked a high drive just inside the right field pole the following inning to provide a 7-3 margin.

 

Miller had a rough start, giving up singles to J.J. Hardy, Nick Markakis and Adam Jones to start the game. Jones' hit bounced off the glove of Miller to account for the first run. Guerrero's double-play grounder plated Markakis.

 

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.

 

Hardy's sacrifice fly plate Mark Reynolds in the fourth to tie the score.

 

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.

 

The blast made Tony Sipp (4-1) a winner even after he gave up Jose Bautista's 29th homer run of the season in the ninth.

 

Other than Jeter's two-bagger, the only time the crowd of 47,787 at Yankee Stadium had a chance to cheer for the home team came on Robinson Cano's home run in the sixth. It was the only mistake made by Niemann (4-4) in his 7 1/3 innings on the hill, as he gave up just six hits with two walks and four strikeouts.
