Red Sox tie Athletics

for best interleague record ever as they go 16-2 by beating the Marlins today. The win puts the Red Sox lead in the American League East at 4.5 games pending the results of the Toronto and New York games.

Papelbon gets his 25th save and Mike Timlin picks up the win. Jon Lester failed in his bid to go 4-0 as Julian Tavarez coughed up the lead in the sixth, giving up a Home Run to Miggy Cabrerra, tieing the game at three.

David Ortiz committed his first error of the season dropping a foul ball at the Marlin's dugout, but atoned for it with his third home run in two games.

The win is Boston's fourteenth in their last fifteen games.
