The Boston Red Sox have finally fallen all the way back to pack, and now they've got only two games left to make it right.
Boston's not dead yet, a message clearly delivered by John Lackey and Jacoby Ellsbury at Yankee Stadium.
The Red Sox salvaged their American League wild-card lead Sunday when Jacoby Ellsbury hit a three-run homer in the 14th inning of the nightcap of a day-night doubleheader, lifting Boston over the New York Yankees 7-4. The Red Sox rallied from a 3-0 deficit to snap a four-game skid and head into their final series with a one-game lead over Tampa Bay.
BOSTON, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- Mike Aviles put Boston in front with a fourth-inning homer Friday and the Red Sox bullpen made the lead stand up for a 4-3 victory over Tampa Bay.
BOSTON, Sept. 2 (UPI) -- Ian Kinsler's three-run homer keyed a four-run second Friday, igniting the Texas Rangers to a 10-0 blasting of Boston.
