Lukes Rips Boston for 5 Hits
A jubilant Nathan Lukes joined the postgame press conference at Fenway Park to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Boston Red Sox pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Toronto Blue Jays left fielder, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-5 hitting performance, which led to the 10-4 Blue Jays win.

"He made it look easy," said Alex Cora, manager of the Red Sox. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Nathan Lukes hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, singled in the 6th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Lukes is currently batting .261 with 6 home runs, 42 RBIs and 46 runs scored. He has 122 hits in 467 at-bats.
