Kevin Youkilis homered for his first major league hit, yet nobody congratulated him when he returned to the dugout.
Bronson Arroyo allowed three hits in eight scoreless innings, Youkilis homered in his second major league at-bat, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-0 on Saturday.
Youkilis, recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket before the game, went 2-for-4 in his major league debut. He hit a towering homer to left field off Pat Hentgen (2-3) in the fourth, giving Boston a 3-0 lead.
Upon returning to the dugout, his teammates acted like nothing happened. Nobody got up to high-five him, so Youkilis high-fived imaginary teammates.
"They gave me the silent treatment after the home run. I guess Pedro put them up to it," said Youkilis, who also singled in the sixth. "It was pretty fun. It's always great when you get that treatment."
