Red Sox minor lines: Of All-Stars and Xander Homers

Pawtucket L 4-9

Box Score

Will Middlebrooks: 0-4, 2 K
Xander Bogaerts: 1-4, HR, K

Clayton Mortensen: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K

Unfortunately MILB doesn't have the video up on Xander's homer, which is basically evidence of a vast conspiracy as far as I'm concerned. Hitting a cool .333/.436/.515 in July now.

Eastern League East All-Stars L 0-5

Box Score

Michael Almanzar: 1-2
Christian Vazquez: 0-2

Anthony Ranaudo: 1 IP, 1 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 3 BB, 1 K, 1 HR

Well, that's not exactly how you want your All-Star game to go, Mr. Ranaudo. He's been...less-than-dominant over the past month. Hopefully he gets back to his early-year performances soon.
