MLB: Cleveland 13, Boston 6
BOSTON (UPI) -- Trot Nixon had the go-ahead RBI and Franklin Gutierrez hit a three-run homer in a seven-run 11th Saturday night, as the Cleveland Indians beat Boston, 13-6. The road win at Fenway Park allowed the Indians to tie the Red Sox at one win apiece in their best-of-seven American League Championship Series.
Gutierrez finished with four RBI, Jhonny Peralta had a three-run homer and four RBI, and Grady Sizemore had a solo home run for Cleveland, which put together a 17-hit attack. Tom Mastny (1-0) got the victory, pitching one inning in relief. Eric Gagne (0-1) took the loss. He combined with Javier Lopez and Jon Lester to let in seven runs in relief. After Manny Ramirez hit a two-run homer in the fifth, Mike Lowell followed with a solo shot. Ramirez has 23 career post-season homers -- more than any other player.
Game 3 is set for Monday night in Cleveland.
