The Rangers bang out 6 homers in crushing the Red Sox, 18 â 3, at Fenway Park. Josh Hamilton hits the most spectacular of the long balls, a 469-foot shot into the right field bleachers which lands a dozen rows shy of the longest homer hit at Fenway, by Ted Williams on June 9, 1946. Mike Napoli hits a pair of two-run homers, while Adrian Beltre, Nelson Cruz and Michael Young complete the fireworks. Jon Lester is charged with the loss, giving up 7 runs in 2 innings, and Mark Melancon gives up 6 runs without recording an out to bring his season ERA to 49.50. Colby Lewis is the beneficiary of the offensive outburst.
