J.D. Drew stood at the plate as the pitch bounced up off the turf, hit catcher Jeff Mathis, and bounded away. The bases, which had been loaded, were unloaded. One run came home, in the form of Victor Martinez, sliding in ahead of the baseball. The game was tied at five in the seventh inning, as the Red Sox attempted to come back from the hole in which they'd been put by John Lackey. They would break the tie shortly, though it wasn't exactly because of something done by a player wearing a Boston uniform. This time it was Daniel Nava who didn't have to do anything. Reliever Kevin Jepsen gave away another run to the Sox, the tiebreaking run, by plunking Nava in the back with a pitch. Drew had been intentionally walked, reloading the bases for pinch hitter Nava, who took two strikes before taking one for the team. David Ortiz trotted home with the winning run before Ryan Kalish grounded into an inning-ending double play, but the Sox got what they needed and went on to beat the Angels, 7-5, Wednesday night at Fenway Park. It was the Sox' ninth straight win over Los Angeles. Nava wasn't done, either. With Alberto Callaspo on second base in the eighth inning, Maicer Izturis hit a liner that appeared to be dropping, but Nava dived head-first, snagging the ball to end the inning with no damage done. Daniel Bard worked a scoreless eighth, and Jonathan Papelbon went 1-2-3 in the ninth - three strikeouts - for his 30th save. It was the third time this season Lackey (11-7) has beaten his former team. In most other parks, the ball hit by Callaspo in the fifth inning would have been a double. But in Fenway, it was a three-run homer down the right-field line, giving the Angels a 5-2 lead. The Sox, though, were contributing home runs of their own against Scott Kazmir. And they were no-doubters. Leading off the fourth, Bill Hall blasted one so far over the Green Monster that it appeared it might have cleared Lansdowne Street altogether. That gave the Sox their second run of the game, after Dustin Pedroia had walked and scored in the first. After the Angels' outburst in the top of the fifth, Adrian Beltre hit one into the Monster seats in the bottom half, a two-run shot that brought the Sox within 5-4. Lackey wasn't able to contain his former teammates. By the end of that fifth, he had allowed double digits in hits, giving up at least one in each inning. In fact, every member of the Angels order had at least one by that point, save for Jeff Mathis. Lackey managed his first perfect frame in the sixth, though by that time the Sox had been forced to warm up multiple relievers. Of course, the Angels weren't faring much better in the pitching department. Kazmir lasted only five innings, giving up four runs on eight hits. A pair of those hits were by Darnell McDonald, who continued his hot streak by smoking a double and a single in his first two at-bats, though neither of them led to a run. Starting with that double by McDonald in the second inning, the Sox loaded the bases with a walk to Marco Scutaro and a single by Pedroia. That left it up to Martinez with the bases full and two outs. He couldn't break the game open, though, striking out swinging and giving the Angels a break.
