09/03/2008 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Alex Cora scored the game-winning run in the ninth to help the Boston Red Sox to a 5-4 win over the Baltimore Orioles to complete a three-game sweep at Fenway Park.
In the ninth, Cora led off with a single and Coco Crisp then reached first with a bunt that just stayed fair along the right line. Jacoby Ellsbury then laid down a bunt and pitcher Jim Miller (0-1) opted to go to third, but threw the ball well wide of the bag and Cora came home for the win.
Dustin Pedroia went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and two runs scored while Mark Kotsay hit a two-run triple for the Red Sox, who have won five of six.
Daisuke Matsuzaka started on the mound and was charged with four runs -- three earned -- on four hits with four walks and seven strikeouts in six frames. Justin Masterson (5-4) got the win for throwing two scoreless innings for Boston, which trails Tampa by 3 1/2 games for first place in the AL East. Tampa plays New York later on Wednesday.
Aubrey Huff went 2-for-4 with a run scored and Lance Cormier started on the mound and gave up just two hits in three innings of work for the Orioles, who have dropped their last six games. Cormier started in place of ace Jeremy Guthrie, who was skipped a turn in the rotation due to a tired arm.
Baltimore got on the board in the first inning as Brian Roberts led off with a double and later came home when Nick Markakis lofted a fly ball to center field that Crisp dropped for a 1-0 lead.
The Orioles padded their lead further in the fourth. Huff led off with a single and Oscar Salazar then worked a walk. Luke Scott brought home Huff with a double to left center and Lou Montanez followed with a groundout to plate Salazar. After Alex Cintron popped out, Guillermo Quiroz singled to center to score Scott for a 4-0 lead.
Boston finally got on the board in the seventh inning. Jamie Walker started the inning on the mound and got the first out, but Pedroia drove a pitch over the Green Monster. Later with the bases loaded and Rock Cherry on the mound, Crisp worked a walk to force home Jason Bay and make it a 4-2 game.
The Red Sox then tied the game in the eighth. With one out, David Ortiz walked and Pedroia then doubled. Kotsay then cleared the bases with a triple off the center field wall.
