Austin Jackson singled in Alex Avila, and Miguel Cabrera homered with two on, ahead of a Fielder solo shot.
Rick Porcello pitched barely well enough to win, allowing the Red Sox eight hits and four runs in five and two-thirds innings.
------------------
The midsummer pagan festival of Lammas is celebrated on August 1, and there was also a full moon tonight.
Whenever a baseball announcer mentions the full moon, visible at his or her (Suzyn Waldman, a Jew) ball park, I always go to the window and look for it. Are they seeing the same moon? The chances are good that they are.
Josh Lewin, also a Jew, mentioned the moon, peeking over the right field wall at Telephone Company Park in San Francisco, during tonight's Mets-Giants game. The same one that was already overhead two thousand miles to the east. The same Josh Lewin who was on Tigers' TV with Kirk Gibson in the 90s and early 00s, whose voice on Mets radio still reminds Your Blogger of years and years of losing Tiger baseball. And he still feels it necessary to drop things like the name of the Partridge Family band's manager (Reuben Kincaid) into the play by play. Only it isn't funny anymore.
