Enjoying all the comforts of home following an 0-6 road trip, the Red Sox struck quickly against Edwin Jackson, who took a 2.52 ERA into the game but has never won a game at Fenway Park. Jacoby Ellsbury led off with a double into the left-field corner, and Dustin Pedroia launched a 3-and-2 pitch into the Monster Seats for his ninth homer to put the Red Sox ahead 2-0. But the Sox missed an opportunity for an even bigger inning. Singles by Kevin Youkilis and J.D. Drew and a walk to Jason Bay loaded the bases with two outs. But Casey Kotchman lined to second to end the rally.
