April 28, 2006: Red Sox 8 Devil Rays 7
Sunday, April 01, 2007
| Julian Tavarez and Mike Timlin tried to give this one away in the 8th, but the Red Sox strike back with 2 in the 9th off Dan Miceli and go on to win behind Jonathan Papelbon's 4th save of the year. A perfect example here of why you shouldn't judge someone by their won-lost record, since Mike Timlin gets the win even though he allowed the 2 run home run to Nick Green that almost cost the Sox the game. |

WEB GEMS- Top 5th: Ty Wigginton robbed Manny Ramirez of a base hit.
Third baseman Mike Lowell had 4 hits and 4 RBI at Tropicana Field as the
Boston Red Sox came back dramatically to top the Tampa Bay Devil Rays by the
score of 8 to 7.
Boston scored the decisive runs in a big 9th inning with 2 runs using 2 hits.
Lowell kicked off the action when he lined a base-hit. Trot Nixon stepped
into the batter's box and he drew a walk. After an out was recorded, Alex
Gonzalez stepped in and he drew a walk to load the bases. Kevin Youkilis
followed and he lined a one-base hit plating two runs. A wild affair, this
game saw the lead change 5 times.
Mike Timlin(1-0) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 2/3 of an inning.
Jonathan Papelbon was credited with his 4th save. Dan Miceli(0-2) was
charged with the loss in relief.
'The only way this one could have been better', said Timlin, 'was if we had
played it at home.'
