Kevin Youkilis just drilled an inside-the-park homerun to the triangle in centerfield. The ball bounced off the sidewall of the Sox' bullpen and rolled in front of the garage door before it was picked up.
Youkilis showed some giddy-up getting around the bases, and was at third before the ball was fielded. He came into home plate standing up.
It was the first inside-the-park homer for Boston since man-of-the-night Trot Nixon had one on July 15, 2005 against the Yankees at Fenway Park, and the first that Cleveland has allowed since Sept. 17, 2004 against Kansas City.
The last Red Sox player to have an inside-the-park homer against the Indians was John Kennedy, on July 5, 1970. Colleague Bob Ryan of the Globe tells us it was Kennedy's first at-bat with the Red Sox.
