Red Sox let lead slip away against Angels


Jacoby Ellsbury and Jason Bay went deep off Ervin Santana, but a wild pitch by Josh Beckett allowed the visitors to tie the game, and reliever Billy Wagner surrendered the game-winner in the ninth.

Nobody had to tell the Red Sox about their Angelic visitors and their devilish smallball ways. Give them an inch and they'll take the game. A leadoff walk in the ninth. A bunt by a pinch hitter. A blooper to right center to score a pinch runner. Los Angeles 4, Boston 3.






Victor Martinez fields a grounder and beats Gary Matthews to the bag with a sliding tag of first base in the top of the fifth.
