8-4 Win Sends Boston to 84-56
Dedicated fans weathered the storm to watch their beloved Red Sox beat the Cubs.

The Boston Red Sox picked up a win at Fenway Park, dropping the Chicago Cubs, 8-4. Roy Oswalt, who led the VBL in wins with 20 last year, was the difference-maker. The winner was Boston reliever Tim Worrell, now 5-3. The loser was Scott Eyre.

Boston went up, 4-3, on Jason Giambi's 23rd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Giambi hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher Scott Eyre muttering to himself.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Boston skipper Jimy Williams.

Boston is now 84-56.
