Red Sox-Angels (August 20, 2005)

For the second straight year, "Big Papi" David Ortiz went ballistic in Anaheim, causing himself to be ejected. Upset over home plate umpire Bill Welke's strike zone, Ortiz let him know that he was not pleased with a called third strike in the eighth inning. Unlike last year's episode against the Angels, Ortiz doesn't figure to miss much -- if any -- time due to suspension. Lost amongst Papi's furor was the fact that Boston pulled out a tenth inning win after Mike Timlin had one of his only bad appearances of the summer. Starter Matt Clement (7 IP, 1 ER, 5 K's) handed off a 3-1 lead to Timlin in the eighth but No. 50 gave up two runs that allowed the A.L. West leading Angels to tie the game. In the top of the tenth, Gabe Kapler and Johnny Damon led off with singles and then after Edgar Renteria struck out, Ortiz' replacement Roberto Petagine walked to load the bases. Manny Ramirez and his 20 career grand slams walked to the plate and delivered -- a slow grounder to third base that scored Kapler. Curt Schilling pitched a perfect ninth and tenth to pick up the win. In the third game of the series -- 4 p.m. on FOX and WEEI -- Boston will send out Bronson Arroyo (10-7, 4.28) against Ervin Santana (6-5, 4.62). With the Yankees still hot on their trail at only 4-games back in the A.L. East, the Red Sox could certainly use a victory today.
