Cliff Lee pitched a two-hitter for his third straight complete game and extended his scoreless innings streak to a career-high 32 as the host Philadelphia Phillies cruised to a 5-0 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday.

Domonic Brown and Shane Victorino belted two-run homers, and Lee added a sacrifice fly as Philadelphia posted its 12th win in 16 games.

Lee (9-5) struck out five en route to his fifth straight win and seventh in eight outings. Lee is 5-0 in June, and yielded only one run in 42 innings.

Lee didn't allow a base hit until Marco Scutaro led off the sixth with a single to left center. Scutaro was quickly erased after Josh Beckett grounded into a double play.

Beckett (6-3), who was making his first start since June 15 because of the flu, permitted a season-high five runs on as many hits in six innings. Prior to Tuesday, Beckett had yielded one homer in his previous nine games.

After winning 14 of 16 games, Boston has dropped five of its last six.
