The Red Sox had won five in a row coming into this game, with the last few being good, gritty wins where they came from behind and/or got key hits late to hold on to the victory. Tuesday was not one of those games. Boston got a home run from Enrique Hernández on the first pitch of the game, and they were off to the races. Scoring in each of the first five innings, they put up a 16 spot through five to run away from it. Nick Pivetta contributed six good innings himself, and the good Sox made it six in a row.
