| Even the white-hot Giants are cooled off a bit at Fenway, losing their third straight. The Gianys had tied the game in the 4th, turning a 4-0 Sox lead into a tie game with a 3-run homer for Bengie Molina and a solo blast for Pedro Feliz back to back, but Julio Lugo comes through for a change getting three with one swing in the bottom of the 4th. An uncharacteristically wild Papelbon in the 9th allows the Giants to load the bases with one out, but Paps gets Randy Winn to tap one in front of home which Varitek takes, steps on home and throws to first for the DP and gives the Sox the victory. |

WEB GEMS- Bot 1st: Dave Roberts robbed David Ortiz of a Homerun!
Bot 7th: Ray Durham robbed Coco Crisp of a base hit.
The Boston Red Sox edged the San Francisco Giants at Fenway Park by the score
of 7 to 6.
Boston brought 3 runs across the plate in the 4th inning. The critical plate
appearance was by Julio Lugo who brought a roar from the partisan Fenway Park
fans when he lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 6th of the season). San
Francisco had a chance to come back in the 9th but they came up short.
Julian Tavarez(3-5) went 5 and 1/3 innings allowing 5 runs for the win.
Jonathan Papelbon was credited with his 18th save. The loss was charged to
Barry Zito(10-3). He was not very effective, surrendering 7 runs in 6 and
2/3 innings.
'I always am most impressed when a pitcher finds a way to win even without his
best stuff,' Gary Lucas said after the game. 'Tavarez did not have command
of his pitches most of the night, but he proved he really knew how to pitch!'
