Dustin Pedroia gets the Red Sox off to a good start in the sixth with a double over the head of Travis Buck. It's a ball Buck could have caught against the wall if he timed it better.

Update: Blanton walks Youkilis, his first of the night. He throws the first pitch to Ortiz in the dirt as well. Joe's in a dangerous situation here.

Update: Blanton falls behind Ortiz 2-0, but comes back to get David to pop out foul on a 3-2 pitch. Manny, however, follows with a double down the third base line to drive in two runs and tie the game.

Update: Lowell strikes out swinging for the second out, but Moss singles to right, driving in Manny. Buck makes a mistake, overthrowing the cut off man to put Moss at second.

Update: That's it for Blanton. He threw 93 pitches, 58 for strikes, and it looks like he went one inning too long. The A's inability to take full advantage of Dice-K's wildness early on cost him a win here.

Update: Embree is on in relief.

Update: Embree strikes out Varitek to end the inning. We'll see if Dice-K comes out for the bottom of the sixth.
