Freakin' Jake Westbrook threw a complete game for the win.
I hate the Cards.
Game-time temperature was 95 degrees at Fenway last night.
That translates to airborne baseballs.
The Red Sox and Marlins pounded-out 28 hits between them in a 15-5 Boston rout.
The Large Father whacked his 11th career grand slam - his 18th dinger this season.
Boston, finally, climbed out of the basement in the AL East moving 1/2 game ahead of the Blue Jays - but still 6 games behind the 1st place Yankees.
Mike Aviles , Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Will Middlebrooks also homered for Boston.
Big Papi is now tied with Joe Carter for 52nd place with 396 homers.
Ortiz also jumped into 2nd on the Red Sox Grand Salami list:
1) Ted Williams - 17
2) David Ortiz - 10
3) Rico Petrocelli - 9
4) Trot Nixon, Jim Rice & Bobby Doerr - 8
