Damon matched the AL record for hits in an inning set by Gene Stephens of the Red Sox on June 18, 1953, in the seventh inning against Detroit. Three National Leaguers also had three hits in an inning, all in 1883.

Boston scores 14 in first

BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox set a major league record by scoring 10 runs before making an out against the Florida Marlins and led 14-1 after the first inning Friday night.

The 14 runs tied an AL record for most in the first inning, and Johnny Damon equaled a major league mark with three hits in an inning. His single, double and triple left him just a homer short of the cycle.

Boston roughed up starter Carl Pavano, Michael Tejera and Allen Levrault for 13 hits, six for extra bases, and drew four walks.

Manny Ramirez hit a three-run homer, and Todd Walker, Kevin Millar, Bill Mueller and Jason Varitek each drove in two runs. Every Red Sox batter had at least one hit, and seven scored in the inning.

All that took 50 minutes and lasted 91 pitches as 19 Red Sox went to the plate.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the previous record for runs scored before making an out was nine, set by the Philadelphia Phillies on Aug. 13, 1948, against the New York Giants.

The 14 runs tied the AL record for most in the first inning, set by the Cleveland Indians on June 18, 1950, in the second game of a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Athletics. The major league mark is 15 by the Brooklyn Dodgers on May 21, 1952, against the Cincinnati Reds.

Damon matched the AL record for hits in an inning set by Gene Stephens of the Red Sox on June 18, 1953, in the seventh inning against Detroit. Three National Leaguers also had three hits in an inning, all in 1883.

Five players scored twice in the inning, tying an AL record set five times previously.

Boston entered the inning with a .294 batting average, second best in the majors, and ended it at .297.

The first hitter to make an out was Nomar Garciappara, the 12th Red Sox player to bat. With the score 10-1 and Todd Walker at first, Garciaparra fouled out to catcher Ivan Rodriguez.

Fans at Fenway Park booed as Garciaparra walked toward the dugout, then started cheering as he got closer.

Damon began the inning against Pavano with a double and scored on Walker's single. Garciaparra doubled Walker to third and Ramirez hit his 17th homer on the first pitch. David Ortiz doubled and Millar singled before Pavano left.

Trot Nixon greeted Tejera with a single, Mueller walked to load the bases and Varitek singled in two runs for a 7-0 lead. A two-run triple by Damon and an RBI single by Walker made it 10-0 and brought in Levreault.

He retired the first batter, Garciaparra, then gave up four runs. Ramirez followed with a check-swing single, Ortiz walked, loading the bases, and Millar hit a sacrifice fly.

Nixon walked, loading the bases again, Mueller doubled in two runs and Varitek walked. Damon then singled to center to make it 14-1, but Mueller was thrown out at home by left fielder Miguel Cabrera, ending the inning.

The 14 runs and 13 hits allowed in an inning were franchise records for Florida, which began play in 1993. The previous marks were 10 runs by Atlanta in the first inning on Oct. 5, 2001, and 10 hits by San Diego in the fifth inning on Aug. 23, 2002.

Boston scored at least 10 runs in an inning for the 29th time, a major league record. The biggest first inning in club history had been 11 runs, set Aug. 13, 1933, against the Philadelphia Athletics and tied June 26, 1999, against the Chicago White Sox.

BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox were enjoying a record-breaking performance when a hush fell over Fenway Park.

Boston set a major league record by scoring 10 runs before making an out and cruised to a 25-8 victory over Florida on Friday night -- but it was marred by a frightening injury to Marlins pitcher Kevin Olsen.

Todd Walker's seventh-inning line drive hit Olsen in the head and 34,764 fans fell silent. He was carted off the field on a stretcher and taken to the hospital, where he was in good condition with minor injuries.

``After I hit the pitcher, I was concerned about him,'' Walker said. ``I couldn't think of much else.''

Tempers flared later in the game.

The benches emptied after Boston reliever Hector Almonte was ejected for throwing behind a batter. And Marlins manager Jack McKeon accused the Red Sox of running up the score in one of their greatest offensive performances ever.


``I didn't realize your pitching was that bad over here at Boston that you would try to add on a 16-run lead in the seventh inning,'' he said.

He was upset that with the score 21-5, Todd Walker tagged up from third on a short fly to center fielder Juan Pierre. Walker was thrown out, ending the inning, but Boston had two more sacrifice flies in the eighth.

McKeon didn't blame Boston manager Grady Little, but Little understood the complaint.

``A couple of those balls went to the wall,'' justifying a runner tagging up, he said, ``but the one shallow fly ball that went to center field ... I might even question that.''

That late offense contributed to Boston tying a team record with 28 hits and scoring the second most runs in team history. The records for runs and hits both came in a 29-4 win over the St. Louis Browns on June 8, 1950.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, baseball's statistician, the previous record for runs scored before making an out was nine, set by the Philadelphia Phillies on Aug. 13, 1948, against the New York Giants.

The Red Sox equaled the AL mark for runs in the first inning with 14, one shy of the major league mark set by the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1952, and raised their batting average from .294 to .297 in that inning alone.

But Fenway Park was quiet after Walker's line drive hit Olsen on or just behind the right ear.

Olsen lay on the mound for nine minutes and moved his feet and blinked before being carried from the field on a stretcher. He was taken to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, a few blocks from the ballpark.

Olsen's injury was considered minor and he was in good condition, according to Dr. Richard Wolfe. Olsen was to be kept overnight at the hospital for observation.

``He was conscious,'' McKeon said. ``He was talking.''

For Boston, Bill Mueller had a career-high six RBIs, Jason Varitek had four and Johnny Damon, Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz and Walker three each.

Damon equaled a major league mark with three hits in an inning -- a single, double and triple in the first.

``I had one of my worst batting practices of the year today,'' Damon said.

In Boston's 50-minute first inning, Carl Pavano (6-9) Michael Tejera and Allen Levrault threw a total of 91 pitches -- with only Levrault retiring a batter.

``It was miserable. It was embarrassing,'' Florida's Mike Lowell said.

Boston scored in each of the next four innings for a 20-5 lead after five.

``I can't put my finger on'' what went wrong, Pavano said. ``I've got another start in five or six days so I'm looking forward to that.''

Tempers flared when Almonte threw a pitch behind Andy Fox in the ninth after Florida's Blaine Neal had hit Ortiz with a pitch the previous inning. After the pitch to Fox, the benches emptied but there was no contact.

Olsen entered to start the fourth and gave up RBI singles to Mueller and Varitek in the fourth and Kevin Millar in the fifth. Damon led off the seventh with a single. Walker then lined the ball off Olsen for a double.

The Red Sox have won five straight. Florida had won six of seven.

The Red Sox took a 16-1 lead on Ortiz's two-run homer in the second inning.

Boston went 13-for-14 in the first with six extra-base hits, including a three-run homer by Ramirez, his 17th of the season. Nomar Garciaparra, the 12th batter, made the first out on a foul popup to catcher Ivan Rodriguez. The other two outs came on a sacrifice fly and a single on which Mueller was thrown out trying to score.

Byung-Hyun Kim (2-1) pitched five innings for the win. He allowedRodriguez's RBI single in the first and four runs in the fifth, all unearned.

Notes

The 14 hits and 13 runs in the first against the Marlins were the most they've allowed in an inning. ... Boston won its eighth straight game at FenwayPark. ... Boston is 14 games over .500 for the first time this season.

Ok, I have a HUGE problem with this!

1st off, this is baseball....You play the game to score runs and not give up runs.....

Accusing a team of running up the score in baseball is IMO one of the most ridiculous things I have heard!!

2nd, McKeon, if you don't want runners tagging up on short fly outs to CF, maybe you should go out and get a CF'er that doesn't have a piece of $hit arm like Pierre:NO:

Geez, quite whinning and take your a$$-whooping like a man!!:hmm:


Damn, I hope the Sox score 30 tonight:angry:

I totally agree with you James. I mean, think about it...the Marlin was able to score 8 runs against our pitchers. 8 runs is still alot of runs IMO in baseball. The Sox needed as much runs as possible. How many times does a pitcher give up 5 runs and still win the game??? Not very often. Bunch of sore losers. If you didnt want us to run up the score, then get some better pitchers too. I hope we give them another ass whooping tonite. :angry:

Remember what happened 2 years ago between Seattle and Cleveland? Seattle had been winning by something like 12-1 and then ended up losing by something like 16-15.

You can NEVER have too many runs IMO.

I agree!!!! Its not like football where you can just control the time clock. I mean going for a 4th and 1 with a 30 point lead in the fourth will be trying to run up the score.

On June 30, 2000, the Mets were losing to the Braves by a score of 8-3. In the bottom of the 8th, the Mets scored 10 runs. All unanswered.

Tonight, the Skanks were beating the Mets 9-0. The Mets came back to make it 9-5 and Mother Torresa brought in Mariano because the big, bad Skanks were afraid of the little Metsies. As they should have been. The final score was 9-8. Unfortunately, the Forces of Evil won again. :cry:

Hmmm, well like today, tho I didnt watch the game, but we were up 8-0 til the 8th. And still lost....I hate our pen. :barf: I really do. On the flip side, I read that Gabe was 4-5 today....3 rbi's. Not too bad for an outcast huh?
Which game did you go to today? Yankee Stadium or Shea?? :)

[Cyberlibrarian]

You need to ask?????

I would NEVER go to the Death Star wearing Mets gear. NEVER. I value my life. Those people have been known to rip Mets' fans' clothing off them and even burn it. They are nothing short of animals at that place. :hmm:

God, there were Skank fans EVERYWHERE at Shea last night. I guess the warden gave them all the weekend off, because the place was absolutely crawling with them. They're like cockroaches. You just can't get rid of them. :barf:
