"BOSTON (AP) - Pinch-hitter Nick Sogard's 10th-inning infield grounder off Michael Kelly drove home Nate Eaton with the winning run, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Athletics 5-4 on Wednesday night for their American League-leading 11th walk-off win of the season. Eaton started the inning as the designated runner at second base, took third on Carlos Narvaez's sacrifice bunt, and scored with a head-first slide to avoid the tag by catcher Shea Langeliers."
"Boston's Chris Murphy (3-0) got the win, pitching one-third of an inning. Kelly (4-4) took the loss. Masataka Yoshida singled in a run in the first for the Red Sox and Rob Refsnyder gave them a 2-1 edge with a leadoff homer in the second, his ninth of the season. The Athletics got a run in second off Boston right-hander Lucas Giolito, as Darell Hernaiz's sacrifice fly scored Lawrence Butler. It was the first of Hernaiz's three RBIs in the game, matching a career high."
