It takes 16 innings in a nationally televised Sunday night game, but the Red Sox finally defeat the Rays, 1 – 0, when Dustin Pedroia drives in Josh Reddick from third base with a single for the game’s only run. Reddick had reached base on the 12th walk given up by Rays pitchers, as their moundsmen’s unwitting generosity finally costs them. Adam Russell, Tampa Bay’s 9th pitcher, is the loser, while Alfredo Aceves is the winner with 3 scoreless innings and Jonathan Papelbon picks up his 21st save. Both Rays manager Joe Maddon and bench coach Dave Martinez are long gone by the time the game is decided, having been ejected in separate incidents in the 11th inning for having words with home plate umpire Chad Fairchild.
