The Red Sox kicked off the second-half in style—clouting three home runs in
a 5-3 win over The Bronx Embalmers. Andover High School's
Ryan Hanigan got the scoring started with a solo shot to left—followed by matching two-run shots by
Travis Shaw and
Xander Bogaerts. Bogie's round-tripper was a Matrix-Like swat of a high inside fastball that showed off his quick hands.

The Pinstriped Posers with a wickedly moving knuckler—going six innings and yielding three earned runs. The Sox bullpen (
Brad Ziegler,
Robby Ross, Jr.,
Koji Uehara) got nine outs to seal the victory. Boston stayed two games behind the victorious Orioles.
