Clay Buchholz did his job. He pitched 5 2/3 innings giving up just 2 runs and left with a 5-2 lead. By the time Jonathan Papelbon entered the game in the 9th the lead was 7-4. Yet Papelbon could not close the door as he allowed Oakland to tie the game at 7. The A's scored two more off Manny Delcarmen in the 11th to take a two run lead. The Red Sox brought a run across in the bottom of the inning, but Dustin Pedroia flew out to left for the final out, stranding the tying run on third. That sealed what will be a very tough loss for the Sox to swallow.
The Red Sox also retired Jim Rice's #14 before the game. Rice was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame over the weekend.
Next Game: Wednesday, 7:10 vs. Oakland
