BOSTON -- Hanley Ramirez told his Red Sox teammates in the dugout that he wasnt going to swing for the fences in his final at-bat.It doesnt work for him that way.I dont hit homers when I try to hit homers, he explained to reporters after Bostons 11-7 victory over the San Francisco Giants. They said, `It doesnt matter. Youve got three already.Ramirez homered three times to drive in a career-high six runs and also helped the Red Sox with some nifty fielding on Wednesday night as Boston moved into first place in the AL East. With a chance to tie the major league record of four homers in a game, he grounded out weakly to the pitcher in his last at-bat.Travis Shaw and Sandy Leon also homered for Boston, and Mookie Betts had three of the 15 Boston hits that made up for a poor outing from starter Drew Pomeranz. Acquired last week from San Diego for Bostons top pitching prospect, Pomeranz struggled to protect an eight-run lead and lasted just three innings in his Red Sox debut.Unfortunately it was an early night for him, manager John Farrell said. Hell be back out there in five days.Boston opened an 8-0 lead and held on to win for the eighth time in nine games and move a half-game ahead of the Baltimore Orioles, who lost 5-0 to the Yankees.And Ramirez was the biggest reason why.The converted first baseman made several fine fielding plays, diving to his left and his right and also starting a double play in the sixth with the bases loaded and nobody out after San Francisco had already cut Bostons 8-0 lead to 8-7.Everything went right today, he said.Ramirezs first career three-homer game gave him 11 for the season. He hit two-run shots in the second, third and sixth inning.Ramirez also reached base when he was hit by a pitch in the fourth, glowering at Giants reliever Albert Suarez before the umpire quickly warned both benches. The biggest crowd of the season -- 38,201 -- stood and chanted Ramirezs name for his final at-bat in the eighth.Sixteen times players have hit four homers in a game, most recently by Josh Hamilton for Texas in 2012.Matt Barnes (3-3) was awarded the victory as the first effective Red Sox pitcher, coming on with a one-run lead and the bases loaded in the sixth and pitching out of it, thanks to Ramirezs glove.Barnes added a scoreless seventh, getting Brandon Belt on a check-swing strikeout with two on to end it, and a perfect eighth.Pomeranz lasted just three innings, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks.Giants starter Matt Cain (1-6) gave up three homers and five runs in 2 1/3 innings.Trevor Brown had three hits for the Giants. Mac Williamson hit a three-run homer, and the San Francisco right fielder also went over the right-field bullpen wall in pursuit of one of Ramirezs homers.I think every kid growing up, playing in Fenway would like to hit a ball over the Green Monster, Williamson said. It was definitely a special feeling rounding the bases. Seeing a ball going out here is kind of a childhood dream.RARE VISITThe game wrapped up a two-game series that was the Giants first visit to Fenway Park since 2007 and just their second since the start of interleague play. They have never beaten the Red Sox at the century-old ballpark, with their last win at Fenway coming as the New York Giants against the Boston Braves in the 1912 World Series.The crowd was boosted by many in Giants orange -- matching the 1978-82 throwback jerseys worn by the team; Boston wore the tops from its 1975 World Series team. The visitors managed to out-shout the home fans often, including in the fourth inning, when San Francisco scored five runs, and the fifth, when they added two more to make it an 8-7 game.LEATHERRamirez dove to his right to stop a line drive in the first inning, and made a play to his right on a hard grounder from Grant Green. Then, with the bases loaded in the sixth, he gloved a sharp grounder, stepped on first and threw home.Leon spun and tagged Belt as he slid home. The umpire signaled out, and the call stood after Giants manager Bruce Bochy challenged it.San Francisco third baseman Ramiro Pena made a nice play of his own, going back to catch Travis Shaws popup in shallow left to end the left inning and save a run.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: Hunter Pence (surgery on right hamstring) isnt ready to resume rehab with Triple-A Sacramento. Bochy said hes got a chance to play on Thursday.Red Sox: Put RHP Koji Uehara on the 15-day disabled list with a strain of his pectoral muscle.UP NEXTGiants: Off Thursday before opening a three-game series in New York against the Yankees.Red Sox: Open four-game series against the Minnesota Twins at Fenway.Giants starter Matt Cain said he felt fine.The results certainly didnt look that way.Cain gave up three homers in just 2 1/3 innings -- two of them to Hanley Ramirez -- as the Boston Red Sox completed a two-game interleague sweep over San Francisco, 11-7 on Wednesday night.Making his first start after three rehab outings and missing 43 games with right hamstring injury, Cain retired the first three batters of the game before giving up three runs in the second and two more in the third.Ramirez chased him with his second two-run homer -- of three he had on the night -- in the third. Travis Shaw had a solo shot in the second.It felt like it was coming out (of my hand) fine, just had some errant ones, said Cain (1-6). I had a lot of positives. I had some breaking balls I threw pretty good and some fastballs I threw pretty good.But he said one thing was certain.I made two mistakes right down the middle to Hanley, Cain said.This week, the Giants made their first visit to Fenway Park since 2007 and just their second since the start of interleague play. They have never beaten the Red Sox at the century-old ballpark, with their last win at Fenway coming as the New York Giants against the Boston Braves in the 1912 World Series.He looked good the first inning, stuff looked good. Just couldnt keep the ball out of the middle of the plate, manager Bruce Bochy said of Cain. The long ball hurt us again tonight. We just cant seem to keep the ball in the ballpark.Ramirez drove in a career-high six runs and the Red Sox held on even though newly acquired starter Drew Pomeranz struggled to protect an eight-run lead.Boston won for the eighth time in nine games and moved into first place in the AL East, a half-game ahead of the Baltimore Orioles. The Red Sox had five homers in the game -- Sandy Leon added a solo shot -- after getting two in a 4-0 win Tuesday.Ramirez also reached base when he was hit by a pitch in the fourth, glowering at Giants reliever Albert Suarez before the umpire quickly warned both benches. With the crowd chanting Ramirezs name for his final at-bat in the eighth, he grounded out weakly to the pitcher.Ramirez began the day with eight homers this season before connecting for his first three-homer game.The major league record for home runs in a game is four. Its been done 16 times, most recently by Josh Hamilton for Texas in 2012.Matt Barnes (3-3) was awarded the victory as the first effective Red Sox pitcher, coming on with a one-run lead and the bases loaded in the sixth and pitching out of it.Pomeranz, who was acquired last week for top pitching prospect Anderson Espinoza, lasted just three innings, allowing five runs on eight hits and two walks.The crowd of 38,201 was a sellout and the highest of the season for the Red Sox. It was boosted by many in Giants orange, matching the 1978-82 throwback jerseys worn by the team; Boston wore the tops from its 1975 World Series team. The visitors managed to out-shout the home fans often, including in the fourth inning, when San Francisco scored five runs, and the fifth, when they added two more to make it an 8-7 game.SPECIAL FEELINGMac Williamson hit a three-run homer, over the Green Monster, and the San Francisco right fielder also went over the bullpen wall in pursuit of one of Ramirezs homers.Its kind of been a little dream of mine, he said.

SPIELBERG, Austria -- Nico Rosberg led Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton in both practices for the Austrian Grand Prix on Friday.The second practice was interrupted for more than 30 minutes as heavy rain and hail drenched the Red Bull Ring.Running in the first eight minutes before the rain, Rosberg clocked his fastest lap. Hamilton came within .019 seconds after the rain break.Rosberg also had the fastest time in the dry morning session, with Hamilton .357 seconds behind.Rosberg has won both races since Formula One returned to Austria, and tops the championship with five wins, and a 24-point lead over defending champion Hamilton.With the track getting a new surface, it has become even faster.The new surface seems to suit our car, maybe even more than the old one. In total, Im very pleased with the first day, Rosberg said.Sebastian Vettel ended the second practice in the gravel after losing control of his Ferrari late in the session.I just lost the car completely hitting the brakes, Vettel said over team radio.Later, the four-time world champion said, I had an issue with brake distribution. It caught me by surprise, but it didnt matter too much, as I only lost a couple of minutes, and in the end it didnt make a lot of a difference.It is not entirely clear where we stand, as we didnt have a lot of running ddue to the weather, in particular in the afternoon, but in general the car feels good.ddddddddddddVettel, lying a distant third in the standings, ended the second session behind Force Indias Nico Hulkenberg. Red Bulls Daniel Ricciardo was fifth.Vettel will be penalized five slots on the starting grid in Sundays race because of an unscheduled gear-box change.Rain is also forecast for qualifying on Saturday so the second practice may have been particularly useful to the teams.Rosberg is seeking his first championship, after seeing his teammate win the last two titles. Hamilton also has an earlier title with McLaren.Both Mercedes drivers had some problems but dominated the first session. Both spun off during the session, and Jean Grosjean of Haas lost control while trying to avoid Hamilton.Red Bulls Max Verstappen, the surprise winner in Barcelona, broke his suspension and front wing while running wide and hitting a yellow curb. He also had a spin in the second session.Vettel and Ferrari teammate Kimi Raikkonen were third and fourth, respectively, in the morning.
