Ramirez then hit an 0-1 pitch over the Monster seats for his sixth of the season and 496th of his career. Javier Lopez (1-0) escaped a two-on, two-out jam by getting Josh Hamilton to line to center. Jonathan Papelbon got the final three outs for his sixth save and the Red Sox won for the seventh time in eight games. Hamilton homered for Texas, his fourth of the year.
