Thome Excels, Cleveland Blows Out Boston
The Cleveland Spiders got production up and down the lineup while beating the Boston Red Sox, 13-3. One standout was first baseman Jim Thome. Thome, who finished 3rd in the AL in wins above replacement with 7.8 in 2004, hit 2 home runs. He scored 4 runs and drove in 6. Erik Hiljus, the winner, improved to 7-11. He held Boston to 2 runs on 5 hits over 6 innings, while racking up 8 strikeouts. The first-place Spiders are now 85-75, the Red Sox 61-99.

Thome had a key at-bat for Cleveland in the bottom of the first. With runners on 1st and 3rd, he hit a 3-run home run. It was his 30th home run of the season and gave Cleveland an early 3-0 lead.

Said Boston manager Randy Carr after the blowout loss: "They did pretty much every facet of the game better than we did and that's why we lost."
