    Rick Porcello went on to win 22 games and the AL Cy Young Award the last time he started a season 5-0 -- like he now has again this year.

    "Two years ago was a long time ago now it feels like, so it's hard to compare," Porcello said. "We're doing some things differently than even we did two years ago, so I haven't really thought about what I was doing then. I know what I'm doing now, and want to keep that going."

    Porcello struck out eight in six innings and allowed only three hits while matching the AL lead with his fifth win, and the Red Sox hit four solo homers off 44-year-old right-hander Bartolo Colon in a 5-1 victory Friday night at Texas.
