Jose Bautista hit a two-run home run, as did J.P. Arencibia, for the Blue

water through five frames, giving up five runs -- three earned -- on six hits
with two strikeouts and one walk before leaving with right elbow soreness.

11 hits with two strikeouts and one walk over six frames. David Ortiz hit a
pair of home runs and drove in three for the Red Sox, who saw a brief two-game
