Game Story: Sox belt Baltimore, 15-10

Share

BALTIMORE -- Go figure.

One night after needing 16 innings to score just one run and eek out a win in a marathon pitching duel, the Red Sox had to out-slug their way to a win which featured 25 runs and 28 hits, holding off the Baltimore Orioles 15-10.

The 15 runs fell one shy of the Red Sox single-game high for the season. The Sox beat Toronto 16-4 on June 11.

After the Sox squandered a 6-2 lead in the 5th inning, the teams were tied 7-7 in the eighth when Dustin Pedroia, who snapped the scoreless tie at Tropicana Field the previous night, drilled an opposite-field double, scoring two.

Kevin Youkilis followed with a two-run single and the inning was extended with a run-scoring single from Carl Crawford and a three -run double from Darnell McDonald.
