G104: Red Sox 12, Devil Rays 6 (12)

As a six-run 12th inning eases the shock of Snuffer giving up a game-tying, two-run home run to start the bottom of the ninth.

***

Jon Lester (3.00, 150 ERA+) / James Shields (4.44, 103 ERA+)

RedSox.com:
Shields experienced the worst outing of his career on Sunday afternoon against the Yankees, allowing 10 runs on 10 hits in 3.1 innings to take his sixth loss. Shields has been the Rays' best pitcher all season, effectively using a fastball, changeup, curve and cutter to retire hitters. The changeup remains his best pitch. ...

David Ortiz has two homers in five career at-bats against Shields.

    Then Coco bunts for a hit, Cora is HBP and Lugo draws a bases-loaded 4-pitch walk. 2-0 Sox.

    In the lower right-hand corner of MLB's Gameday, there is a Hall of Fame-related ad for a credit card (maybe).

    MLB spells Cal Ripken's last name "Ripkin".
