Boston wins in 13; Yankees top Twins

BALTIMORE -- Mike Lowell singled in the tiebreaking run during a 13th inning in which the Baltimore Orioles made three errors, and the Boston Red Sox turned the miscues into a 5-2 victory Friday night.

Lowell had three hits, and Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and half of Boston's club-record six stolen bases. Manny Ramirez, bidding for his 500th home run, went 1-for-6 but scored the go-ahead run in the 13th.

The Red Sox were held scoreless for 11 straight innings before breaking through against Chad Bradford (2-2) -- with plenty of help from the shoddy-fielding Orioles.

Mike Timlin (3-3) worked the 12th and Jonathan Papelbon got three outs for his 15th save. The victory was only the second in Boston's last 11 road games.
