| Red Sox rally for tie against M’s bullpen | 07.03.09 at 9:28 pm ET |
The Red Sox came about 10 feet from positioning Tim Wakefield for victory. Instead, the knuckleballer’s night will end with a no-decision after Boston rallied for a pair of runs to tie the game, 5-5, in the bottom of the eighth.
Nick Green, batting with two on and one out, lofted a high fly ball to left. The thing had a hang time of Sputnik. But when it finally crashed to earth, it scraped off the Wall, perhaps 8-10 feet short of a homer. And so, the Sox tied the game, 5-5, rather than assuming a one-run lead.
Wakefield is out after eight innings, having allowed 10 hits and five runs. He matched a season-high with 112 pitches, but his no-decision will not help his cause to make the All-Star game.
