Jacoby Ellsbury set a Red Sox franchise record on Thursday night against the Phillies as he stole five bases.

The Phillies presented Ellsbury with a base to acknowledge his accomplishment after the game.

"It's pretty neat," Ellsbury said. "As long as the Red Sox have been around . It's pretty special."

Ellsbury had been tied with Jerry Remy atop the franchise list with four stolen bases.

Jonathan Papelbon earned the save against the Red Sox at Fenway Park on Tuesday night even though Cliff Lee was cruising for the Phillies.

"Kind of wanted to see it, if you want to know the truth," Charlie Manuel said after Papelbon closed out the victory at his former home ballpark. "Pap likes drama. Might as well like it with him."

The Red Sox closer from 2005 until he left as a free agent in 2011, Papelbon was honored with a scoreboard video at Monday's game, but he didn't pitch in the series opener.

"That's how they love you in this city, man," Papelbon said. "That's just how it is. It's the atmosphere in this city. I've always enjoyed playing in this city and pitching off that mound. It really felt like old times."

Carlos Gonzalez, who homered to right field against the Giants on Saturday, became the first Rockies player to have a "splash hit" into McCovey Cove.

Gonzalez's hit was the 27th splash hit by an opponent and the 90th overall since AT&T Park opened in 2000.

Angel Pagan became the first San Francisco player to end a game with an inside-the-park homer, connecting with a runner aboard in the bottom of the 10th inning Saturday to give the Giants a 6-5 win over the Rockies, according to an ESPN.com report.

"I know two things: I'm going to score and coach Tim Flannery is going to score with me," Pagan said. "He's amazing. I'll be honest with you, I was running out of gas a little bit around third. He helped me to get there."

Anibal Sanchez was two outs away from a no-hitter on Friday night when Joe Mauer hit a clean single up the middle to end the bid.

It was the fourth one-hitter of Sanchez's career. He threw a no-hitter as a rookie with the Marlins in 2006.

"It's not that I go to the mound and want to do something special; it's just that I want to go nine innings, go deeper, get a good command, get a good game," Sanchez said. "When I come to the eighth inning, I think about it. But when I come to the ninth inning, it's really tough with those guys."

Sanchez allowed just the Mauer hit as the Tigers beat the Twins 6-0.

Kevin Gausman made his Major League debut on Thursday night, taking the mound for the Orioles against the Blue Jays.

Gausman allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings. A first round pick in the 2012 draft, he walked two and struck out five.

"Definitely a learning experience for me but it was awesome," Gausman said. "It was everything I could have imagined and more.

"I've been waiting my entire life for this. I haven't been able to sleep very much lately. That was something that was kind of great to get out of the way. Hopefully, I can sleep tonight."

Gausman is the youngest starter in the AL at 22 years and 137 days.

Drew Stubbs and Mark Reynolds drove in three runs each and Cleveland had 16 hits in the Indians' 12-3 win over the Boston Red Sox in manager Terry Francona's return to Fenway Park on Thursday night, according to an ESPN.com report.

Ryan Vogelsong broke his throwing hand on a swing after pitching himself toward his first win in seven starts, and the Giants returned from a rough road trip to beat the Nationals 8-0 on Monday night, according to an ESPN.com report.

Miguel Cabrera hit three home runs on Sunday night, but it wasn't enough as the Detroit Tigers lost to the Texas Rangers.

Cabrera hit a three-run homer in the third and a solo shot in the fifth off Derek Holland, then went deep again in the eighth against Tanner Scheppers.

He went 4-for-4 with 5 RBIs and is flirting with the lead in all three Triple Crown categories.

"I've never seen a guy that puts the bat head on the ball as regular as he does, and on all pitches," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "He's just a tremendous hitter. I'm very happy that he's headed to the airport."

Cabrera is the 23rd player in MLB history to go 4-4 with at least 3 HR, 5 RBI and 4 runs scored.

Matt Moore directed the Tampa Bay Rays to a 3-1 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday, improving his record to 8-0 on the season.

Moore gave up one run, struck out three and walked one to become the first eight-game winner in the majors.

The 23-year-old is the youngest lefty to start the season 8-0 since Ruth did it in 1917 at age 22.

"Historically speaking, it's been wonderful," Joe Maddon said of Moore's season.
