CLEVELAND — Julio Lugo walked through Boston’s clubhouse after last night’s victory over the Cleveland Indians shouting “We need Mo. We need Mo. We need Mo.”

The Red Sox’ shortstop was referring to teammate and fellow Latino Wily Mo Pena, who has been rumored to be on the trading block. With Tuesday’s deadline approaching, Pena went 4-for-5 with a home run, a single, a pair of doubles and four RBI to help Boston to a 14-9 victory in the finale of its four-game series at Jacobs Field.

“I think everybody is happy for him,” said Red Sox manager Terry Francona. “He swung the bat really, really well and gave us big boosts. That’s what he can do. I think he saw six pitches, swung at all of them, and hit four of them right on the button. It was fun to watch.”

Pena, who was a triple shy of the cycle, hit a laser-like three-run homer in the seventh inning, his first round-tripper since June 4 against Oakland. He entered last night’s game hitless in his previous 11 at-bats, with five strikeouts to go along with a .122 average in his last 22 games.

“The last couple of games, I was struggling,” he said. “I wasn’t getting any hits, so I just said to myself, ‘Go in there and do the best that I can.’ I’ve been working hard and everything is coming back. I felt my confidence tonight. I was just looking for a good pitch to hit. It was good to go 4-for-5 in one game; I’ve been looking for that.”

Pena wasn’t the only one to produce at the plate for the Red Sox last night.

Manny Ramirez continued his offensive prowess against his former team with a 3-for-4 performance, with two home runs and a double, four RBI and four runs scored. He scorched a monster solo home run in the top of the second inning off Cleveland starter Cliff Lee that landed 481 feet from home plate, the third-longest shot ever at The Jake. Former Indian Jim Thome still holds the top spot with a 511-foot homer, and Mark McGwire’s 485-footer is second.

“That homer he hit to center field was unbelievable,” said Pena. “I can hit one that far one day. I’ll just have to wait.”

The offensive barrage the Red Sox displayed stole the spotlight on a night when all eyes were focused Boston’s pitching staff.

For the third time in three weeks, Kason Gabbard and Curt Schilling pitched on the same night, the rookie for Boston and the veteran for Pawtucket.

While Schilling started for the PawSox — throwing five scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and surrerendering two hits — an hour and a half away in Toledo, Gabbard tried to improve on his 4-0 record for the Red Sox. The left-hander was well on his way with four solid innings and a 9-1 lead. The Indians got to him in the fifth, however, scoring four runs in the inning after having yielded a run in the third. He had to settle for a no-decision.

In the fifth “I was trying to be too perfect with everything,” said Gabbard. “I got out of sync a little bit. Honestly, it’s kind of embarrassing to have a 9-1 lead and have all that happen, especially not being able to finish. I just try to go out there and do my best every time, and now I’m looking forward to my next start.”

Gabbard, who had walked only four batters in his previous three starts, didn’t issue a free pass last night until the fifth, when he walked three and hit a batter. Finally, with two outs and the Indians having batted around, Francona replaced the southpaw with reliever Julian Tavarez.

Prior to the game, Francona spoke highly of the Gabbard’s performances this season. The left-hander made a spot start in May against Atlanta, and last night he made his sixth start since replacing the injured Schilling in the rotation on June 26.

“Left-handers with changeups in this league can be devastating,” said the manager. “Gabby has been as good as anybody in baseball his last two starts. … He’s got good two-seam movement and his changeup is such a good pitch. His breaking ball is getting so much better.”

It was the first time since Aug. 27, 2006, in Seattle that Tavarez had appeared in a relief role. He finished last season as a starter, and with Jon Lester out of the rotation to start the season as he battled back from cancer, Tavarez had been starting in the No. 5 spot. That ended on Monday when Lester returned.

Tavarez struggled badly in his last four starts, and despite allowing four unearned runs in the seventh inning, including a three-run homer to the Indians’ Ryan Garko, he got the victory last night.

As Boston leaves Cleveland and heads to Tampa to begin a three-game series with the Devil Rays, the Red Sox celebrated a series victory over the Indians in Latino style, thanks to Ramirez and Pena.
