G91: White Sox 7, Red Sox 5

White Sox - 210 301 000 - 7 11  1
Red Sox   - 200 000 030 - 5  9  0

Chicago led 3-2 and had runners at second and third with two outs in the fourth. Jon Lester had fallen behind Kevin Youkilis 3-0 and it looked like he was willing to pitch around him and take his chances with Adam Dunn.

But then Lester got two called strikes to run the count full. His sixth pitch of the at-bat was up a bit but right over the heart of the plate - and Youkilis drilled it over the Wall, increasing the White Sox's lead to 6-2.

Lester lasted only four innings (4-7-6-3-4, 91) in yet another disappointing outing. Junichi Tazawa pitched four innings of relief (4-4-1-0-4, 50) and Franklin Morales, bumped from the rotation, pitched the ninth.

For the second straight night, Boston rallied in the eighth. Carl Crawford singled, went to second on a groundout and stole third. He scored on Will Middlebrooks's single. Then pinch-hitter Kelly Shoppach went deep for two more runs. But the Red Sox went in order in the ninth.

Crawford had the kind of game the Red Sox envisioned when they signed him: 3-for-4, three stolen bases, two runs scored, and an RBI.

UPDATE: Globe:

Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz does not have a tear or rupture in his Achilles' tendon and will take a few days off, but will not be placed on the disabled list ...

"This (expletive) team is cursed," Ortiz said humorlessly as he limped toward the showers ...

This list may not be complete (and does not include players who missed games without going on the DL (e.g., Adrian Gonzalez, Will Middlebrooks, and now Ortiz)):
