Jacoby Ellsbury hits a two-out, three-run homer off Scott Proctor in the 14th inning to give Boston a 7 – 4 win over the Yankees in the second game of a doubleheader at New Yankee Stadium, halting a four-game skid. They lost the first game, 6 – 2, while Tampa Bay won, 5 – 2, over Toronto. As the day ends, the Sox’s lead in the American League wild card race is down to a single game. Ellsbury’s home run, his 30th of the year, makes him the first member of the Red Sox to join the 30-30 club.
