It was starting to look like another inevitable 2014 loss. Leading 6-1 late in the game, Boston allowed
The Amazin' A's to claw back to a 6-6 tie in the 9th—partly off
Koji Uehara. Then, in the 10th,
David Ortiz put on the red cape. He launched the game-winning HR to deep left-center and gave Uehara
the 7-6 vulture win.
Mike Napoli and
David Ross also homered, while
Jonny Gomes went 3-4 with two RBIs. So, the Red Sox salvaged one game in Oakland and head to Seattle—where the Mariners are actually above .500.
