Manny Ramirez hit a three-run homer and Matt Clement rebounded from his only loss of the season to lead the Boston Red Sox over the Cincinnati Reds 10-3 on Monday night in the first meeting of the teams since the 1975 World Series.
During a pregame ceremony, the left-field foul pole was named the Fisk Pole in honor of Carlton Fisk, whose 12th-inning homer off the pole gave Boston a 7-6 win in Game 6 of the '75 Series, which the Reds won in seven games.
The right-field foul pole already is known as the Pesky Pole, named after former Boston infielder Johnny Pesky, and Ramirez homered near there in the five-run sixth inning.
Clement (7-1) allowed three runs and six hits in eight innings.
He struck a season-high nine batters and walked one.
Boston scored nine runs off Eric Milton (3-8), who matched his career-high for runs allowed, set in 2002 against Cleveland.
Blue Jays 4, Cardinals 1
In Toronto, Roy Halladay pitched a five-hitter for his major league-leading fifth complete game, and the Blue Jays ended a four-game losing skid.
Halladay (10-3) has won six of his last seven starts, and is tied with Chicago's Jon Garland for the most wins in the AL.
The 28-year-old right-hander, who won the 2003 AL Cy Young Award, struck out five and walked none for his 20th career complete game.
Shea Hillenbrand homered off Jeff Suppan (5-6) for the Blue Jays, who reached .500 again (32-32).
John Mabry homered for the Cardinals, who have lost just four of their last 22 interleague games. Center fielder Jim Edmonds was a late scratch because of bruised right ribs.
Devil Rays 5, Brewers 3
In St. Petersburg, Florida, Jonny Gomes and Travis Lee homered to back Doug Waechter, helping Tampa Bay to consecutive victories for the first time in more than two weeks.
Prince Fielder, son of former major league star Cecil Fielder, made his big league debut for Milwaukee after being promoted from Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers' first-round pick in the 2002 amateur draft went 0-for-4.
Waechter (3-3) allowed three runs and eight hits in eight innings, struck out six and walked one. Danys Baez finished for his eighth save in 14 chances.
Chris Capuano (5-6) allowed four runs and 12 hits in seven innings. Chad Moeller and Lyle Overbay homered for the Brewers, who have lost five in a row.
Rangers 7, Braves 3
At Arlington, Texas, Alfonso Soriano of the Dominican Republic homered twice against Tim Hudson in the pitcher's shortest outing for Atlanta, and the Rangers beat the Braves for the first time.
Chris Young (6-3) pitched seven shutout innings with seven strikeouts and one walk while allowing just two singles. The 6-foot-10 (2.09-meter) right-hander lowered his ERA to 2.78.
Hudson (6-5) was pulled four batters later with two runners on. In 2 2-3 innings, the right-hander allowed five runs on five hits and matched a season high with five walks while throwing 76 pitches -- 38 balls and 38 strikes.
Hank Blalock also homered for the Rangers, who extended their home winning streak to nine games in their return after a 4-8 road trip the past two weeks.
Diamondbacks 8, White Sox 1
At Chicago, Shawn Estes pitched his first nine-inning complete game since 2003, and Luis Gonzalez and Troy Glaus hit consecutive home runs during a six-run second inning for Arizona.
Chicago's Frank Thomas homered in the fourth inning, then limped off the field with a cramp in his left leg after singling in the sixth. The White Sox did not immediately announce more details on the condition of Thomas, who missed the first two months of the season while rehabilitating an ankle.
