MLB roundup: Red Sox spoil Manny Ramirez's homer in return to Boston

BOSTON — Dustin Pedroia singled home the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox overcame Manny Ramirez's homer to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4 on Saturday.

Boston improved to 7-1 on a nine-game homestand and will go for a three-game sweep Sunday night.

Ramirez homered in his second game back at Fenway Park against his former team, a sixth-inning solo shot off knuckleballer Tim Wakefield. The enigmatic slugger also had his first stolen base since 2008.

Victor Martinez had a two-run homer and Kevin Youkilis a solo shot for the Red Sox, who committed four errors.

Wakefield made his 200th career start at Fenway, tying Roger Clemens for the most in Red Sox history.

Jonathan Papelbon (2-3) worked a scoreless ninth for the win. Ronald Belisario (1-1) took the loss.

Dodgers right-hander Vicente Padilla made his first start since going on the disabled list April 23 with an inflamed nerve in his right arm. He gave up four runs and five hits in 5 1?3 innings.

TWINS 13, PHILLIES 10, 11 INNINGS: At Philadelphia, Joe Mauer hit a tying homer off Brad Lidge to cap a five-run rally in the ninth inning and Delmon Young drove in the go-ahead run in the 11th, leading Minnesota over Philadelphia. Each team hit a dramatic homer when it was down to its last out in a wild game that featured nine home runs and 29 hits. Pinch-hitter Jim Thome cracked a two-run homer in the ninth off Phillies reliever Jose Contreras. Two outs later, Mauer's two-run drive off Lidge tied it at 9. Drew Butera's first career home run, also a pinch-hit shot, gave the Twins a 10-9 lead in the 10th, but pinch-hitter Ross Gload hit a tying homer off closer Jon Rauch (2-1) with two outs in the bottom half. Mauer's one-out walk against Danys Baez (2-3) got the Twins started in the 11th. Young's infield single put the Twins ahead 11-10. Matt Tolbert followed with a two-run triple.

YANKEES 5, METS 3: At New York, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson each hit a two-run homer, Phil Hughes became the American League's second 10-game winner and the New York Yankees ended the Mets' eight-game winning streak. Hughes (10-1) gave up two early home runs to Jose Reyes, but the Yankees quickly came back against Mike Pelfrey (9-2) to snap a three-game skid. Hughes went seven innings and tied David Price for the AL lead in wins. Joba Chamberlain pitched a scoreless eighth and Mariano Rivera worked a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 17 chances. The Yankees scored more runs than they had in their past three games overall (four) — without the help of shortstop Derek Jeter, who was a late scratch from the lineup because of a bruised heel.
