Down 4 – 0 in the 1st, the Senators rally to top the Red Sox, 7 – 5, as the Fenway Park crowd of 20,000 cheers the Washington win. Rookie pinch hitter Wade Lefler, who had one at-bat with the Braves previously, drives in three runs with a bases-loaded double to win it. Lefler drove in Washington’s only run in Friday’s loss, but his five games with Washington (5 for 9 with three doubles) and one with Boston will sum up his major league career. In Philadelphia, the A’s beat the Yankees, 4 – 3, to give the Senators a 2-game lead with two to play.
