The Red Sox are now 0-5 after another loss to the Indians at Progressive Field. Holding a 3 – 2 lead, the Indians load the bases with none out against Dennys Reyes in the 6th when an unusual play occurs. Michael Brantleyhits a soft line drive to third base. 3B Kevin Youkilis drops the ball, picks it up and scrambles to the base while the runners hesitate, unsure about what to do; Youkilis then guns the ball to C Jason Varitek, who steps on home plate and moves aside, thinking he has completed a double play, but forgetting that the force has been removed when Youkilis recorded the first out. Travis Buck is as surprised as anyone to learn he is not out and that his run counts. Asdrubal Cabrera then follows with a three-run homer that breaks the game open. Shin-Soo Choo had opened the scoring with a solo shot in the 1st, and Matt LaPorta makes the final score 8 – 4 with another solo homer in the 8th.
