Red Sox Get 5-1 Win Versus Atlanta
The Boston Red Sox rode a solid performance from 29-year-old starting pitcher Phil Christopher to a win, beating the Atlanta Firebirds, 5-1, at Fenway Park. Christopher yielded 1 run over 6.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 0, and struck out 5. His record improves to 4-4. The second-place Red Sox have won 5 consecutive games.

Anthony Rizzo went 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Boston. The 35-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With no one out and runners on 1st and 2nd, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring single off Mike Whiteford. It was his 6th hit of the season.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Red Sox manager Alvin Morman, "I like our chances."
