Singles by Dustin Ackley and Miguel Olivo put runners at first and third with one out in the eleventh inning, and Chone Figgins's line drive sac fly to right brought in the winning run. For the second time in three games, Jarrod Saltalamacchia could not handle Cody Ross's throw to the plate, and the winning run scored easily both times.

John Jaso's two-run double off Beckett (6-4-2-3-4, 85) gave Seattle a 2-0 lead. Beckett did not allow a hit until the fifth inning, but seemed to hit a wall with one out in the sixth, allowing a single, walk, single, and double.

Boston tied the game immediately as Adrian Gonzalez, Will Middlebrooks and Cody Ross all singled to load the bases with no one out in the seventh. One run scored on Ryan Kalish's fielder's choice and a second run scored on a passed ball.

The Red Sox had chances to score in both the ninth and tenth innings. Ross and Kalish singled with one down in the ninth, but could not advance. And in the tenth, Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz singled with no one out. However, a strikeout and two fielder's choices ended that possible rally.

Boston is 0-5 in extra-inning games this year.
