Abreu and Criswell lead Red Sox to 4-0 win over Giants for major league-leading 6th shutout

Rookie Wilyer Abreu had a single, double and his first career triple, Cooper Criswell pitched five scoreless innings and the Boston Red Sox beat the San Francisco Giants 4-0 on Tuesday night for their major league-leading sixth shutout. Abreu, who finished a homer shy of hitting for the cycle, helped Boston win its third straight. Jarren Duran singled in his first three at-bats and drove in a run and Rob Refsnyder had a pair of RBI singles as the Red Sox quickly ended to Giants ace Logan Webb's streak of 19 straight scoreless innings.
