David Murphy and Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s back-to-back homers put away the Boston Red Sox and John Smoltz in the sixth inning.
Smoltz dropped to 1-3 on the season giving up nine hits, six runs, no walks and five strikeouts. Smoltz gave up three homers total including a solo shot to Michael Young in the sixth.
David Ortiz had an RBI double and Kevin Youkilis plated a runner on a single in the ninth.
Goat of the Game – Smoltz
Three homers in the sixth inning doesn’t help a baseball team win games.

Next Game – 7/21 vs. Texas Rangers – Josh Beckett/Tommy Hunter

The Red Sox lost, well, we all know what that means with Beckett on the mound.
