Bottom of the Ninth
Papelbon walks a batter, but doesn't allow a run in the top of the ninth. The Red Sox bullpen has not allowed a hit in 4 1/3 innings of work. Now, Boston gets a chance to end the game in the bottom of the ninth. If the Red Sox can get a runner on, they'll bring up Ortiz.
Update: Lugo singles, the goes to second on a hit and run ground out.
Update: Youkilis strikes out and the Angels walk Ortiz to face Ramirez.
Update: Manny deposits a 1-0 pitch over the Monster Seats for a 6-3 Red Sox win and a 2-0 lead in the series.
Correction: Lugo singled. Manny's homer went over the Monster.
Lugo singled. And I think Manny's homer completely cleared the Monster.
Well, technically, Manny deposited one somewhere well outside of Fenway Park...nowhere near the seats. :-)
Manny's first Red Sox walkoff.
That ball's on the Mass Pike.
