After last night's victory over the Los Angeles Angels, the Sox are 9 and 1 when Ellsbury leads off. Ellsbury homered off the fifth pitch of the game and scored the winning run when Pedrioa hit a ground ball off Angels' pitcher Scot Shields.
After Ellsbury's lead-off homer, the Angels were up 5-1, but Lugo had an RBI single in the fourth, Youkilis tied it up with a 2-run homer, Pedroia broke the tie in the eighth with a RBI double, and Papi singled to bring Pedroia home.
Replacing Beckett (who's battling the flu) was emergency starter David Pauley, called up from Pawtucket. Starting in his fourth major league game, Pauley gave up five runs during 4 1/3 innings.
Timlin got the win before Papelbon came in to achieve his eighth save. The final score was 7-6.
