Jon Lester pitched a five-hitter, David Ortiz splashed a home run into McCovey Cove and the Boston Red Sox beat Tim Lincecum and the San Francisco Giants 5-1 Sunday.

Lester put the Red Sox ahead for good with a sacrifice fly in the second inning. Adrian Beltre also homered and Marco Scutaro and Bill Hall each hit RBI singles as Boston took the series.

The Red Sox finished up a six-game road trip that included several injuries and lots of lineup shuffling.

Lincecum (8-3), the two-time reigning NL Cy Young Award winner, was done after a season-low three innings having already thrown 79 pitches. He had a three-start winning streak snapped.
