The Boston Red Sox used a ninth inning rally to score two runs and break a 3-3 tie and defeat the Cleveland Indians by the score of 5-3. Jason Varitek’s big solo home run in the ninth inning proved to be too much for the Indians to handle.
Veritek wasn’t the only player to have a big night for the Red Sox as Jed Lowrie went one for three and three RBI. It was Lowrie’s first major league hit and a big one that really helped out the team. Lowrie said he could hardly stand at first base after the hit he was so excited. Kevin Youkilis had an RBI insurance run after the Varitek home run as well.
Tim Wakefield pitched six innings and gave up seven hits and two earned runs to get the no decision. David Aardsma picked up the win and Hideki Okajima grabbed the save for the Red Sox.
