Game Story: Schilling pitches Red Sox past Indians »

FINAL: Boston 5, Cleveland 3

Behind seven innings of one-run pitching from Curt Schilling and home runs by Manny Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis, the Red Sox won their series opener with Cleveland, 5-3.

Jonathan Paplebon had a rocky outing but picked up his 13th save of the season to seal the victory.

Schilling scattered six hits over his 117-pitch start, a nice recovery from his last start, when he gave up 12 hits in a loss to the Yankees.

J.D. Drew broke out of his slump with an RBI double in the fourth; Ramirez had a solo home run to the Monster seats in the fifth, and Youkilis had his first career inside-the-park homer in the seventh.
