With some help of course. Down 4-2, Kevin Youkilis homered to deep left field to bring it closer at 4-3 in the eighth inning and then Dustin Pedroia followed in the ninth inning with a sacrifice fly to score Julio Lugo to tie the game at 4-4. That is where Ramirez...

Clay Buchholz had a decent start compared to his last few surrendering three runs on six hits over five innings with seven strikeouts, but leave it to the Red Sox Pen to blow it open again.

Rich Harden looked like Rich Harden of old pitching a gem against the Boston Red Sox in the 5-1 win. Harden threw six innings, gave up three hits, walked three, gave up one run (solo shot to Manny Ramirez) and struck out nine to grab his first victory of the season....
