April 3, 2013: Red Sox 12 Yankees 0

The 2013 Red Sox definitely look like a different team than the 2012 version. Today they whip the Yankees 12-0 behind 6 home runs and 7 innings of 2-hit ball from Clay Buchholz. Mike Napoli got his first 2 home runs in a Red Sox uniform, Shane Victorino got his 2nd in as many days, Daniel Nava was 3 for 4 with a homer and 3 runs scored, Jacoby Ellsbury was 4 for 4 with 3 runs scored, and both Dustin Pedroia and Jarrod Saltalamacchia went deep. Even Alfredo Aceves looks improved from his 2012 form - he pitched 2 innings without allowing a run!
