A.J. Burnett came within one out of a complete game and Russ Adams drove in the go-ahead run with a two-run double in the eighth inning, leading the Blue Jays past the faltering Red Sox 4-3 on Tuesday night. Boston has lost three straight and had its lead in the AL East cut to 2? games over New York after the Yankees' 12-0 victory over Baltimore. It's the smallest Red Sox lead since before play on April 26. Boston led 2-1 in the eighth when Frank Thomas drew a two-out walk off reliever Eric Gagne. Thomas was replaced by pinch-runner Curtis Thigpen, and Aaron Hill singled and Matt Stairs walked before Gregg Zaun drew a five-pitch walk to tie the game. |
