FINAL: Boston 11, Oakland 6

BOSTON _ It has officially kicked in.

The momentum boost Boston has been waiting for in preparation of the upcoming postseason arrived in fine fashion tonight as the Red Sox dismantled the Oakland Athletics en route to an 11-6 victory at Fenway Park.

With the exception of Julio Lugo, every Red Sox player in the starting lineup registered at least a hit, but it was the top of the order that proved crucial.

The first four hitters – Dustin Pedroia, Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz and Mike Lowell – combined for 10 runs on 12 hits to lead the offensive onslaught.

More to come. . .
