BOSTON -- The Red Sox gave left-hander Pedro Hernandez a rude welcome to the major leagues Wednesday night.

Cody Ross hit a pair of three-run homers, Adrian Gonzalez added a solo shot and an RBI single and Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits in Boston's 10-1 rout of the White Sox.

Hernandez, who lasted four-plus innings, gave up eight runs in his big league debut

Gonzalez added a two-run single in the sixth inning and is 9-for-16 with two homers and 10 RBIs in the last four games.

Left-hander Felix Doubront, who gets more offensive support than any starter in baseball (7.97 runs per nine innings coming in), gave up a first-inning run and then cruised through six innings. He allowed four hits in becoming Boston's first 10-game winner. He is 10-4.

Ross (Nos. 14 and 15) and Gonzalez (No. 8) went back-to-back off the 23-year-old Hernandez (7-2 in the minors before his recall) in the fourth inning.

Ross made a bid for a third consecutive homer in the sixth, doubling off the Green Monster before Gonzalez's two-run single.

Kevin Youkilis, playing his third game back in front of the Boston fans since being traded to the White Sox last month, went 1-for-4. The reception of the Fenway crowd wasn't as big as it had been the first two nights.

Two-out singles by the teams' first basemen left the game tied 1-1 after an inning. Paul Konerko put the White Sox ahead and Gonzalez matched that in the bottom half.

The Red Sox took a 4-1 lead in the third on Ellsbury's second hit, a broken-bat single by Carl Crawford and Ross' first homer.

Ellsbury's third hit followed a Pedro Ciriaco single with one out in the fourth. Ciriaco then stole third but was sent back to second because home plate umpire Manny Gonzalez interfered with catcher A.J. Pierzynski. Crawford popped out, but Ross, who thought he had had drawn a walk on a 3-0 pitch, delivered again on the next pitch, this one giving him one more homer on the season (62 games) than he had all last year with the Giants (121).

Gonzalez followed with his second homer of the series, the power surge coming after 66 at-bats without a home run.
