They were probably tired of being called 'Raiders Of The Lost Offense'. The Red Sox unleashed the full force of their battage with a 12-1 drubbing of the hapless Giants. Felix Doubront was the beneficiary of the onslaught, cruising through eight innings and giving up just a solo home run. Stephen "Babe" Drew and Will Middlebrooks both homered and Boston got three-hit games from Dustin Pedroia and Shane Victorino. A loss by Tampa catapulted The Carmine Hose back into sole possession of first place in the AL East.
