PHILADELPHIA -- Mookie Betts homered twice and Xander Bogaerts had three RBI to help the Boston Red Sox beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-3 on Wednesday night.
Betts had four hits and drove in three to lead an offensive barrage off Phillies starter Jeremy Hellickson (5-5). Boston tagged him for six runs on nine hits in just five innings.
Betts led off the game with a single, had an RBI double in the second, but his biggest hit was a solo home run, his 10th of the season, in the fourth inning after the Phillies had scored three runs to close within 5-3.
