BOSTON (AP) — Terry Francona returned to Fenway Park and found some more pleasant memories.

A standing ovation. A video tribute to his time as manager of the Boston Red Sox. And, most importantly, a win for his Cleveland Indians.

Drew Stubbs, Mark Reynolds and Michael Bourn combined for nine hits and eight RBIs and the Indians had 16 hits in their 12-3 win on Thursday night.

“I tried to keep my emotions inside,” said Francona, who led the Red Sox to two World Series championships in eight years. “I didn’t want to be the main focus. You want to let the players play.”

Francona, let go by Boston after the 2011 season, got the ovation after the first inning during a video display on the center-field scoreboard. He raised his left hand to the crowd and tapped his heart with his right.

“I was honored,” he said.

And, perhaps, just a bit emotional.

“It was just neat to see the organization do that for him,” Reynolds said. “I think I saw him teary-eyed a little bit during that thing. It was pretty neat and I was glad to be a part of it.”

The 12 runs are the most scored by the Indians in the park since June 28, 2005 and the most they scored there without a home run since 1953.

Zach McAllister (4-3) allowed three runs in five innings. He hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in any of his nine starts this year. Scott Barnes earned his first major-league save by pitching three shutout innings.

Ryan Dempster (2-5) gave up four runs in three innings with four walks in his third straight poor start for Boston.

Every Cleveland starting batter had a hit and all except Jason Kipnis scored.
