In a game shortened by heat lightning, Andrew Hubbard improved to 4-1, allowing 3 hits with 6 K's, to keep the Sox in first place. Tom Cousineau took the loss for the Reds. The Sox struck for 3 in the first inning, capped by an Anthony Tomaro RBI single and a 2-RBI double blast by John Byrne. Mike Lembo plated 2 more with an opposite field single in the second inning. In the 3rd inning, after Nate Butcher singled and Felix Villalobos doubled, Matt Deeb hit a 3-run homer to right field, reaching the fence by the Ryan water on a hop. Deeb would hit a 2-run homer the next inning too, but was called out for missing 3rd base that the proceeding runner kicked out of the way. Deeb, Tomaro, Bryne, Smith and Villalobos all strung together multihit games for the Sox. The Reds scored their run in the 3rd when Tom Cousineau tripled and scored on a sac fly.

Matt Deeb homers twice (sort of)
