No matter how you look at it, Jacoby Ellsbury was an integral part of two World Series Championships as a member of the Boston Red Sox. So if you wanted to boo him because he went to the hated rivals of the Red Sox, the New York Yankees, you had every right to do just that.
And if you want to boo him for what he did to the Red Sox on Tuesday night, feel free to do so.
Ellsbury had two hits and two RBIs he and his teammates roughed up Jon Lester in a 9-2 win for the Evil Empire at Fenway Park.
Lester allowed eight runs (three earned) on 11 hits, four walks and two errors while striking out seven in 4.2 innings of work.
David Ortiz and Mike Napoli provided the Red Sox runs on the evening when they had back-to-back home runs in the 4th inning. Big Papi’s home run was measured at 482 feet, which is the longest in the AL this year.
Every Red Sox starter had at least one hit with the exception of Grady Sizemore. It was also the first time that Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka had faced the Red Sox.
