Manny Ramirez's fourth inning home run was the 452nd of his career, tying him with Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Thome for 29th place on the all-time list. ... The Sox have signed their top pick in the June 6 draft, 18-year-old outfielder Jason Place. ... Alex Cora gets a start at shortstop tonight.

The Sox now have 22 come-from-behind wins, second most in baseball to the Brewers (24). The Yankees, meanwhile, have 20 blown-lead losses, second most in baseball to the Devil Rays (25). The Sox are 9-4 in games decided after the seventh. The Yankees are 7-12.

New York lost yesterday -- and dropped one game behind Boston -- when Ryan Zimmerman hit a game-winning, two-run home run off Chien-Ming Wang.
