Pedroia rescuses Red Sox when he hits three homers at Coors Field

On June 24, 2010 Dustin Pedroia hits three homers, the last in the 10th inning at Coors Field off Houston Street, as the Red Sox defeat the Rockies, 13 – 11. The wild game takes 4 hours and 48 minutes to complete and ends when Jonathan Papelbon redeems himself for blowing an 11 – 9 lead in the 9th – his second blown save in a row – by setting down the Rox in the bottom of the 10th.

Pedroia was the twentieth different Red Sox player with 3-or-more homers in a game, but only the second Boston second baseman to do it, joining a hall of farmer Bobby Doerr. He was 5-5 with 5 RBI’s.
