PHILADELPHIA -- Jacoby Ellsbury stole five bases and took one more home with him. David Ortiz and Jonny Gomes homered and Ellsbury set a club record for stolen bases in a game as the Boston Red Sox routed the Philadelphia Phillies 9-2 on Thursday night. Afterward, the Phillies presented Ellsbury with a base to acknowledge his accomplishment. "Its pretty neat," Ellsbury said of the record. "As long as the Red Sox have been around . Its pretty special." "Single-handedly, he changed the game," Boston manager John Farrell said of Ellsbury. "When you have that kind of base-stealing threat, its a huge asset." Ellsbury added three hits and Jarrod Saltalamacchia had two doubles and three RBIs for the Red Sox, who enter this weekends series against their AL East rival New York Yankees having won 11 of 16 games. Ellsbury was on base five times, adding a walk and hit by pitch to the base hits. "Getting on base that many times, you want to take advantage and put pressure on the defence," he said. The Phillies didnt do much to prevent Ellsbury from advancing. "He was getting a walking lead and weve got to stop that," Philadelphia manager Charlie Manuel said. Manuel also spoke a familiar refrain afterward, lamenting Philadelphias lack of offence. The Phillies have scored three runs or fewer in 31 of their 54 games this season, dropping to 8-23 when doing so. "Its a battle for us to win games," Manuel said. "We havent blown many people out. In order for us to get a winning streak, we have to score more runs." Franklin Morales (1-0) allowed four hits in five innings with two strikeouts and two walks in his first appearance this season. Four relievers closed it out with four scoreless innings. "He kept the game under control," Farrell said of Morales. "That was a solid five innings of work." Said Morales, "I got the lead and knew I had to make my pitches. I felt great today." Delmon Young homered and Domonic Brown remained hot with a pair of hits for Philadelphia, which was trying to get back to .500 for the first time since April 14. Phillies rookie Jonathan Pettibone (3-1) surrendered four runs in a 28-pitch first inning. Cesar Hernandez, filling in for injured Chase Utley (oblique) at second base, also had two hits. But the Phillies managed a total of just six hits. "We swing at bad balls," Manuel said. Morales (back) came off the disabled list and got the nod when Jon Lesters start was bumped back a day to Friday to give ace Clay Buchholz, who had been scheduled to start Fridays series opener at the Yankees, more time to recover from a shoulder injury that forced him to miss Mondays start. Buchholz could pitch in Sundays series finale against the Yankees, though the Red Sox havent announced a starter for that game. Pettibone (3-1) hadnt given up more than three earned runs in his first seven career starts, but left after giving up six hits, striking out five and walking four in five innings. Saltalamacchias two-run double to was the big blow in the first for Boston, which got RBIs from Dustin Pedroia and Mike Carp in the opening frame. "I wasnt being aggressive early on, I wasnt finishing the batters," Pettibone said. "The plan was to pound the lefties inside. I kind of fell behind and that didnt help." After the Phillies got a pair of runs back on Youngs opposite-field, two-run homer to right in the bottom of the first, Morales kept the Phillies scoreless for the next four. "After the first inning he settled in and was making his pitches," Manuel said. Boston tacked on a run in the sixth when Gomes, pinch-hitting for Morales, hit a solo homer to left-centre off Phillies left-handed reliever Jeremy Horst to put Boston ahead 5-2. Horst hit Bostons next batter, Ellsbury, prompting home-plate umpire Bill Miller to warn both teams. And Boston took a 6-2 lead in the seventh when Ortiz led off the inning with a majestic homer to right field. Manager John Farrell lifted Ortiz, who was making his first start at first base this season, in the middle of the seventh. Despite Millers warning, Philadelphia reliever Michael Stutes and Boston reliever Mortensen each hit a batter after the caution but werent ejected. Notes: Manuel didnt play slugger Ryan Howard, who has been battling a sore knee, against the left-handed Morales. . Morales was 3-4 with a 3.77 ERA in 37 games with Boston last season. .
