Arm and Hammer:
Lackey, Ortiz Lead Sox to Sweep of Hapless Astros

Boston 6, Houston 1
As Expected Since February, Red Sox Have the Best Record in MLB on April 29
Everyone in the Media Had the Sox Tying a Club Record for Wins in April
Best Team Ever?

"It feels good. It's been a long time. It's been a lot of hard work to get back to this point and hopefully we can keep it rolling forward... The elbow's fine.
