Vote: Was Mike Aviles, Josh Beckett, David Ortiz or Jarrod Saltalamacchia Biggest in Sunday's Win?The Red Sox were firing on all cylinders on Sunday, from the starting pitching all the way to another strong effort from the offense.

Josh Beckett started things on the mound, going 7 2/3 innings before allowing his only run of the day on a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning. He also struck out five Phillies batters.

He had a great offense to thank in the 5-1 win, too. Mike Aviles and Jarrod Saltalamacchia both hit home runs for the second game in a row. Aviles' bomb came on a 2-for-5 hitting day, and Saltalamacchia also turned in a good game behind the plate in one of the rare instances where he caught Beckett.

But while Beckett, Aviles and Saltalamacchia can be commended for coming through, they also have to give a hand to David Ortiz. He played first base for the second straight day and turned some heads with a great diving snag in the fourth inning.

Each player had a part in Sunday's win, but which one do you think put the Red Sox over the top?
