Mark Duncan/APThe Sox and Indians were tied 4-4 in the 9th when Dustin Pedroia hit a sacrifice fly to the left, allowing Lugo to score.
However, it was Big Papi and Manny Ramirez who stole the show last night. Papi's at-bat in the 9th resulted in a bloop (what a term, huh?) that landed in front of the Indians' left fielder. Ellsbury came in to pinch-run for Papi and made it home after Manny slammed one over the left wall, tying up the game, putting the Sox in the lead. They won 6-4.
Manny's two-run homer was number 493 of his career, tying him with Lou Gehrig and Fred McGriff for the 24-spot on the career list. Way to go, Manny! And my man Papelbon got his 5th save of the season, not too shabby.
