Jarrod Saltalamacchia clouted a pinch-hit, walk-off, two-run home run to
beat the Tampa Rays, 3-2. The game was a defensive slugfest between two premier starters—Josh Beckett and David Price. But, it ended with pinch-hit offensive fireworks against one of the best closers in the game this year.
Will Middlebrooks had put the Sox ahead with an RBI single, but the Rays pushed two across against Beckett in the seventh. The win pushed the Carmine Hose back to .500 (23-23) and just 5 1/2 out of first.
