07/22/2007 - Boston, MA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manny Ramirez hit a three-run home run and drove in four, while Mike Lowell also hit a three-run bomb as Boston topped Chicago, 8-5, in the finale of a four-game set from Fenway Park.
Kevin Youkilis drove in the other run for the Red Sox, who won the final three games of the series. Coco Crisp added three hits and Ramirez scored two runs. Tim Wakefield (11-9) earned the win despite being charged with six hits and four runs in 6 1/3 innings.
David Ortiz was not in the lineup for the second straight game after suffering a left shoulder strain on Friday. An MRI taken Saturday revealed no structural damage, and he is listed as day-to-day. Ramirez was the designated hitter and Youkilis played first base.
Chicago starter Jon Garland (7-7) was charged with six runs and six hits over 4 2/3 innings, fanning three but walking five in the loss, snapping a personal three-game win streak on the road for the crafty right-hander.
Josh Fields went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a run scored for the White Sox, who have lost three straight and four of six. Juan Uribe had three hits, while Rob Mackowiak, Alex Cintron and Jim Thome knocked in a run apiece.
Chicago put together a rally in the seventh, sending 10 men to the plate and scoring four times. Pierzynski singled and Dye doubled to start the frame. Mackowiak followed with a sacrifice fly and Fields singled which made it 8-3.
Wakefield exited for Manny Delcarmen, but Uribe singled to load the bases and Cintron's base hit brought in another run and moved the runners up one base. Thome walked to force in a run for an 8-5 game. Paul Konerko popped out to first and Hideki Okajima was called on to face Pierzynski, who fanned on a 3-2 pitch to end the inning.
Okajima retired the White Sox in order in the eighth, but Chicago loaded the bases with none out in the ninth on singles by Uribe and Jerry Owens and a walk to Cintron. Thome struck out swinging, and Konerko bounced into a 5-4-3 game-ending double-play which earned Jonathan Papelbon his 22nd save.
Ramirez gave the home team a jolt in the first with a three-run opposite-field blast into the bullpen. Julio Lugo and Youkilis drew walks to set up the homer.
In the fourth, Crisp singled and Eric Hinske followed with a ground-rule double but the Red Sox didn't score. Chicago responded with a run in the fifth on Jermaine Dye's double followed by Fields' RBI single.
Boston went up 6-1 in the fifth, as Lowell barely cleared the Green Monster with a line-drive three-run shot with two down. In the sixth, a Youkilis sac fly and a Ramirez single pushed the advantage to 8-1.

With the field of 64/65 set, MySportsbook.com has the Florida Gators as the 4-1 favorite to successfully defend their National Championship. Men’s Division-1 College Basketball has not seen a team repeat as National Champions since Duke won back to back championships in ’91 & ‘92. After losing three out of four late in the season, the Gators are full of momentum as they won their last four games by an average of 18 points. Not surprisingly, right behind the Gators are the other three top seeds: Kansas 5-1, UNC 6-1, and Ohio State 7-1. Many consider Kansas to be the hottest team in the country, having won 11 straight. With Kansas, it is hard to ignore all of the early exits from the “dance” in recent years. With an impressive ACC Tournament, UNC ensured themselves the other top seed. UNC has about as much talent as any other team in the tournament but with a team that’s best players are primarily freshman and sophomores, could youth be a concern. Behind freshman sensation, Greg Oden, OSU will look to do what their football team failed to do just a few months earlier. OSU seems to have peeked at the right time, as they currently have a 17 game winning streak. Since the tournament field was expanded in 1985, there has never been an instance where all four #1 seeds advanced to the Final Four. It is obvious that each of the top seeds have the talent to make it through to Atlanta. But as everyone knows, when makes the NCAA Tournament so special are all of the spoilers and “Cinderella” stories that knock off the favorites on a daily basis.
