Lynn Isn't Talking Lynn Shows Fight For Red Sox

He collected a triple and three singles with a stolen base while throwing out two baserunners and helping Boston rally to a 6-4 victory. Lynn, who led Boston last year with 21 homers and 105 RBIs, hit .326 in 60 games this season and addressed boos after a first inning strikeout, saying he is giving 100 percent.
