* at Boston 10, Chicago 3: Josh Beckett tied C.C. Sabathia of the Indians for the major league lead with his 13th victory. Coco Crisp’s three-run triple in the fifth inning gave the Red Sox a 4-3 lead and Julio Lugo hit a grand slam in the eighth, driving in the last of the 10 runs yielded by starter Jose Contreras.
