The Red Sox come up just short in a late inning comeback and lose to the Orioles by a run. The longball was the downfall of the Sox today - Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed 3 two run homers, one each to Miguel Tejada, Aubrey Huff, and Brian Roberts. Then Mike Timlin gave up a solo shot to Kevin Millar in the 8th, and went on to give up another run. That 8th run would be the decider, as Mike Lowell would hit a 3 run shot to make it 8-7 in the 9th but the Sox would fail to get that last run they needed.

A big missed opportunity in the 7th, as the Sox chased starter Erik Bedard from the game and had the bases loaded with just one out and Manny Ramirez due up. Paul Shuey enters the game, and Manny grounds into a double play!

Erik Bedard dominated striking out 10 Boston batters and shortstop Miguel
Tejada went yard and had 2 RBI as the Baltimore Orioles defeated the Boston
Red Sox 8 to 7 at Camden Yards.

Bedard(13-8) pitched well for Baltimore in their victory. He surrendered 6
hits and 3 walks in 6 and 1/3 innings. Boston threatened in the 9th but
their rally came up short.

Jamie Walker earned the save, his 10th. Daisuke Matsuzaka(12-8) was tagged
with the loss. He was touched for 3 homeruns in his 6 innings of work.

Bedard was pleased with his performance. He noted, 'I had good zip on my
pitches. Just as important, my location was right on. The fans really got
into the game too - that always helps me. Now, if I can only do that again
in my next outing.'
