Buchholz Wins First Six Starts

From Elias: Clay Buchholz, who threw seven scoreless innings against the Blue Jays on Wednesday night, is now 6-0 with 47 strikeouts and five runs allowed this season. Only three other pitchers since 1900 won each of their first six starts of a season while striking out at least that many batters and permitting so few runs: Zack Greinke (2009 Royals), Roger Clemens (1991 Red Sox) and Fernando Valenzuela (1981 Dodgers).

Ortiz Ties Extra-base Hits Record

From Elias: David Ortiz's double on Wednesday night extended his streak of games with an extra-base hit to nine straight, tying a franchise record. Ortiz himself (in 2004), Bill Mueller (2003), Butch Hobson (1977) and Ted Williams (1939) also stroked a double, triple or home run in nine consecutive games for the Red Sox.
