BOSTON -- For 58 years, Ted Williams stood as the only player in Red Sox history to have more than one three-homer game in a single season.And then Mookie Betts came along.Betts belted three home runs and collected a career-high eight RBIs in Sundays 16-2 rout of the Arizona Diamondbacks at Fenway Park. He went deep in the first and second innings against Diamondbacks starter Zack Greinke?and?in the fifth against reliever Adam Loewen. Betts matched?his three-homer game from May 31 in Baltimore.All three of Betts homers cleared the Green Monster in left field. His eight RBIs were the most by a Red Sox player since Bill Mueller drove in nine runs on July 29, 2003, against the Texas Rangers.I was just swinging at good pitches to start and was finally able to just swing the bat right, Betts said. The last couple of days, I hadnt been swinging it right and hadnt been swinging at good pitches and just was late, a whole bunch of things. So, today, I finally came in early and got back in that little groove.Betts had one hit in his previous eight at-bats after missing Thursday nights game because of tightness in his right calf, likely a byproduct of having fluid drained from his right knee two weeks earlier. Even with his two-game funk, Betts entered the day batting .357 (30-for-84) with 11 doubles, one triple, five homers and a 1.088 OPS in his previous 21 games -- hardly a slump.He had two chances to hit his fourth home run. But with the crowd chanting Lets Go Mookie, he lined out to right field in the sixth inning and grounded to third base to end the eighth.Nevertheless, Betts joined Williams in the Red Soxs multigame three-homer club. Williams hit three homers in two games during the 1957 season, when the Red Sox finished in third place in the American League.Any time your name is said with his, you know it means youve done something well, Betts said, referencing Williams. He had a great career, and mines just starting.Dustin Pedroia also made history Sunday, when he notched his fifth career five-hit game, the most ever by a Red Sox player.The Red Sox set their season high in runs scored, an offensive outburst that came at an appropriate time. After completing a 4-2 homestand, the Sox will embark on a four-city, 11-game road trip beginning with a makeup game Monday afternoon in Cleveland.Air Max a Vendre En Belgique . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle.

Air Max Pas Cher . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.John Aloisi reckons the time is right for Socceroos boss Ange Postecoglou to put his faith in Jamie Maclaren to lead the line in next weeks World Cup qualifier.Maclaren is in Thailand with the national team and will miss Friday nights A-League encounter between Brisbane Roar and Adelaide United.Considering he was not in Postecoglous original squad for the clash against Thailand on Tuesday night, its been a remarkable turn of events for the 23-year-old, who made his first international appearance in a friendly against England earlier this year.Two weeks ago, Maclaren had not even opened his A-League account, but a sudden flash of good form for the Roar and an injury to Tomi Juric (knee) has completely changed the landscape.Maclaren now looks the best candidate to start up front for Australia, and Aloisi hopes thats the choice Postecoglou makes.Hes not scared to blood a young player, hes shown that, Aloisi said on Thursday.But also, Macca needs to do what he has been doing here at training there, and prove too Ange hes ready to start.ddddddddddddWe dont know how hes gone this week, I havent spoken to anyone, but hopefully hes taken the form hes shown here, there, and Ange plays him.Sometimes luck comes to those who deserve it and Macca, definitely last season, scoring 20 goals, was an unbelievable achievement.This year, the last two games hes shown that hes still got goals in him. We always knew that. If he does start, hell do well.Maclaren has been in camp with the Socceroos since the weekend and Aloisi said the lead-in will give Postecoglou ample time to fit him into the teams system.He knows what type of player Macca is and hell fit him into their way of playing and hell help them with that, he said.(I told him) enjoy every time you put on the green and gold because thats the ultimate for any footballer... and try and get to a World Cup, because its the best feeling in the world.
