Boston Makes San Francisco 7-3 Losers
San Francisco third baseman Nolan Arenado had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Arenado hit 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice, even as Boston beat the Giants, 7-3. The winning pitcher was 25-year old right-handed pitcher Juan Cervantes. He tossed 106 pitches over 6.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits. The first-place Red Sox have a one-game lead in their division.

Patrick Vitzhum hit a 2-run double off Ritzi Mendoza in the bottom of the first, which put the Red Sox in front, 2-0. In addition to the double, Vitzhum had 1 single, while going 2 for 4.

"We take it day by day here," said Vitzhum, "and today was a good one for us."
