Red Sox 4, Indians 2
CLEVELAND — Josh Beckett picked up his first regular-season win in Cleveland to lead the Red Sox over the Indians, who couldn't quite muster another late-inning rally and lost for just the fifth time at home. Jason Varitek hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Fausto Carmona as Boston, which started the season 0-6, improved to a league-best 15-7 in May and moved into second place in the AL East ahead of the Rays. The Indians ran into outs four times.
