Boston Red Sox
Red Sox 6, Astros 1 -- Postgame notes
02:12 AM EDT on Saturday, June 28, 2008
HOUSTON -- Some postgame tidbits . . .
-- Kevin Youkilis enjoyed the first four-hit game of his career last night with three singles and a double. Strangely, despite the four-hit effort, Youkilis didn't score or knock in a run. Over his last 11 games, Youkilis is hitting .432 (16-for-37).
-- Dustin Pedroia had his second straight three-hit game and is hitting .514 since June 18.
-- J.D. Drew's homer in the third snapped an 0-for-14 slump.
-- The Red Sox became the first team in the majors to reach the 50-win plateau this season.
-- Games in NL parks are usually shorter, but last night's clocked in at 3:22. "When the Red Sox come to NL parks," said Drew, "things change. We have a lot of fans coming to see us and we want to give them an extra 45 minutes or so."
