The Red Sox made the score 7-0 in the seventh when Nick Green cracked his second homer of the season off reliever Jose Veras.
Josh Beckett pitched an overpowering six innings for the Red Sox, allowing one scratch hit while fanning eight batters and walking two. The only hit off Beckett came with two outs in the fourth when Robinson Cano pulled a ball into the hole between first and second. Pedroia, whose glove work preserved Clay Buchholz's no-hitter in 2007 and made another nice play on Saturday night to keep Jon Lester's perfect game going until the seventh inning, ranged wide to get to the ball. But he couldn't pick it up cleanly, and Cano reached.
