Daniel Nava became the second player in major league history to hit a grand slam on the first pitch he saw, sparking Boston to a 10-2 victory and its eighth straight series win in this matchup.He came up the next inning with the bases loaded but struck out on a check swing.
"I wanted to treat it like I normally do," said Nava, the 10th player in Red Sox history to homer in his first at-bat. "I just said, `How are you guys doing (to umpire Bill Hohn and catcher Brian Schneider)?' They didn't say anything."
Nava added a double and J.D. Drew went 3 for 4 with a homer to lead the 16-hit attack. The Red Sox are batting .418 with 15 extra-base hits in the series.
