Woo hoo! Walkoff to win the series and give the Sox the 1 game division lead. It wasn’t looking good as the Sox were down 2-1 going into the bottom of the ninth with Rivera coming into the game. Sox had struggled to get anything going all game against Garcia. They only got one run in the 2nd despite loading the bases with nobody out. Scutaro hit a single with one out to save face but an opportunity was missed nonetheless.
Beckett had the Yankees under wraps most of the game but gave the lead back on a solo home run in the 5th. His line ended up being 6 IP, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 5 Ks. Albers coughed up the lead in the 7th on another solo home run in 2/3 of an inning. Morales cleaned up the mess he left behind. Wheeler, Papelbon, and Bard each pitched a clean inning to give the batters a chance.
In the ninth, down by one, Scutaro lead off with a wall ball that was nearly a home run to get on 2nd. Ellsbury sacrificed him to third and Pedroia hit a sac fly to score the run. One inning, one hit, one run, game tied. In the 10th, Ortiz hit a double and McDonald pinch ran for him. Crawford was intentionally walked to put the force on. That didn’t matter though because Reddick hit a single to left to score McDonald and win the game.
