Dustin Pedroia led the Sox offensively, going 4-for-6 with three runs and three RBI.
Boston got a solid outing from Justin Masterson as he allowed just four hits and one earned run in 5.1 innings of work.

Baker was 0-1 against Boston last year, working seven strong innings in a 1-0 loss at Fenway Park. He struck out seven in that game and did not give up a run.
