Marlins Drop 5-3 Decision to Red Sox
Starting pitcher Juan Cervantes pitched well enough to help the Boston Red Sox beat the Miami Marlins, 5-3. The winning pitcher was Cervantes, now 7-5. He tossed 5.2 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 4 and fanning 7. Boston improves to 71-52 with the win. They lead their division by 3 games.

Xander Bogaerts had a big 2-run home run for the Red Sox in the bottom of the third inning. With Boston leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a changeup from Frank Lopez, who is tied for 10th in the NL in wins with 10, and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Red Sox on top, 4-1.

"Juan is still learning," said Red Sox manager Alvin Morman. "The sky's the limit for him."
