The Angels win a Fenway Park slugfest, 14 – 13, with a pair of 10th-inning runs. Boston grabs a 6 – 0 lead against C.J. Wilson after 2 innings, but Los Angeles replies with an 8-run 3rd inning, chasing Franklin Morales. The Red Sox then blow a 9 – 8 lead in the 7th, and an 11 – 9 lead in the 9th. In that frame, closer Alfredo Aceves surrenders a lead-off homer to Vernon Wells that bounces on the line marking the top of the Green Monster and back onto the field; replays clearly show it never left the park, but Boston fails to ask for a review. In the 10th, Kendrys Morales hits a solo homer off Aceves to start the inning, but it’s an insurance run scored by Erick Aybaron a double by Wells that proves to be the difference, as Boston claws back a run and the game ends with Dustin Pedroia, representing the tying run, on first base.
