Sexson about to groove?

A key 2-run homer last night: the beginning of something big?

Sexson would have had his 17th RBI on a sacrifice fly that traveled about 400 feet to straightaway center field in the sixth. But Adrian Beltre hesitated before leaving third base, and Raul Ibanez was tagged out trying to sneak to second base before Beltre reached home for an inning-ending double play.

"With the exception of getting hit by a taxi on the field, that was the topper with the month I've been having," Sexson said.

"May's going to be a lot better."

It would be about time.
