ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON—Pinch-hitter Dan Johnson hom-
ered off Jonathan Papelbon in the ninth in-
ning to tie it, and Dioner Navarro doubled in
the go-ahead run Tuesday night as the Rays
rallied past the Red Sox 5-4 to snap a four-game
skid and extend their lead in the AL East.
Johnson woke up in Pennsylvania as a
member of Triple-A Durham, which was pre-
paring to play Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in the
International League playoffs, before getting
his callup. Johnson flew into Boston and ar-
rived just before the first pitch.
“It’s been real hectic, so there’s not really
much time to reflect,” Johnson said.
The Rays had lost six of seven games — and
the Red Sox had won six of seven, including a
3-0 victory in the series opener — to cut the
cushion from 51
⁄2 games to just a half-game.
With a victory Tuesday, the Red Sox could have
moved into first place for the first time since
June 28; instead, the Rays are 11
⁄2 up.
Tampa Bay led 3-2 with two outs in the
eighth when Dan Wheeler (4-5) walked Kevin
Youkilis and then Jason Bay barely cleared
the Green Monster to give Boston the lead.

Lance Berkman hit
a three-run homer
in the first inning
and added an RBI
double in the third
as the surging Astros defeated
the Pirates 9-3. Houston has
won 12 of 13 to pull within four
games of the NL wild-card spot.
Carlos Delgado
had his second
consecutive two-
homer game as the
Mets held off the
Nationals 10-8. He hit a two-
run shot in the third off John
Lannan and a solo shot in the
sixth off Charlie Manning.
Justin Morneau hit
a two-run homer as
the Twins beat the
Royals 7-2 to pull
within one game of
the White Sox in the AL Cen-
tral. Morneau pulled a shot just
over the baggie in right to give
the Twins some cushion.
With the Phillies in
the midst of the
tight NL East race,
Kyle Kendrick laid
an egg, allowing
seven runs in 11
⁄3 innings in a
10-8 loss to the Marlins. Jorge
Cantu’s three-run homer fin-
ished Kendrick’s night.
Rockies reliever
Taylor Buchholz
balked in the win-
ning run, allowing
Kelly Johnson to
score, giving the Braves a 5-4,
10-inning victory. Buchholz had
already moved his feet to begin
his windup when he paused.
Mike Cameron
went 0-for-5 with
three strikeouts and
left six runners on
base as the Brewers
lost 5-4 to the Reds in 11 in-
nings. In his final at-bat in the
10th with two men on base and
two outs, Cameron flied out.

AMERICAN LEAGUE
Angels: Torii Hunter left the game against the Yankees be-
cause of a tight left quadriceps and is day-to-day.
Athletics: Released 1B-DH Mike Sweeney, who struggled to
return from operations on both knees. Sweeney, a 14-year
veteran who spent most of his career with the Royals, was
limited to 42 games this year. Doctors have told the five-
time All-Star he needs more surgery on both knees. ... Re-
called INF Jeff Baisley from Triple-A Sacramento.
Indians: Activated Travis Hafner from the 60-day DL after
spending more than three months on the disabled list with
a strained right shoulder.
Rangers: DH Milton Bradley strained a muscle in his lower
back and left Tuesday’s game against the Mariners in the
first inning after taking just one swing.
Red Sox: Recalled RHP Bartolo Colon from Triple-A Paw-
tucket. Assigned RHP David Aardsma to Class A Lowell.
Tigers: LHP Dontrelle Willis and RHP Freddy Garcia will get
starts for the Tigers next week.
Yankees: Derek Jeter singled in the first inning against the
Angels on Tuesday night, passing Babe Ruth for second
place on the Yankees’ career hits list. Jeter sent an 0-2 pitch
from the Angels’ Ervin Santana into left field for his 2,519th
hit. Only Lou Gehrig (with 2,721) has more hits as a Yankee.
NATIONAL LEAGUE
Astros: Hunter Pence’s drive off the top of the right-field
wall was confirmed as a double after an instant replay re-
view by the umpires in the sixth inning of the Astros’ 9-3
victory over the Pirates. It was the second play reviewed
under MLB’s new instant replay system.
Braves: RHP John Smoltz thinks a checkup Wednesday will
show that his surgically repaired right shoulder is pro-
gressing ahead of schedule. He said he prefers to return to
the Braves in 2009.
Cardinals: MLB.com reported that slugger Albert Pujols
told KSDK-TV on Monday that he may be leaning toward
undergoing Tommy John ligament-replacement surgery on
his right elbow after the season ends.
Mets: Closer Billy Wagner told the media that he believes
he will come back after Tommy John surgery. “There’s no-
body that’s going to tell me that I can’t go out there and
compete and come back and be successful,” Wagner said.
... The New York Times reported that Mets reliever Ambio-
rix Burgos was arrested late Monday night on suspicion of
beating and biting his girlfriend in a Queens hotel, the po-
lice said. According to a criminal complaint, Burgos threw
the woman, Maria Lopez, against a wall and repeatedly
slapped and punched her inside a Holiday Inn near Shea
Stadium. Burgos, 24, was charged with one count of third-
degree assault, punishable by up to one year in prison, and
one count of second-degree harassment.
Pirates: 2B Freddy Sanchez left in the second inning against
the Astros with blurred vision in his right eye.
Reds: Recalled INF Paul Janish, INF Danny Richar, INF Adam
Rosales and LHP Daniel Ray Herrera from Triple-A
Louisville. ... Purchased the contracts of RHP Jon Adkins,
LHP Adam Pettyjohn and RHP Josh Roenicke from
Louisville. ... Placed RHP Josh Fogg on the 60-day DL. ... Re-
called RHP Matt Belisle from Louisville and placed him on
the 60-day DL. ... Designated RHP Todd Coffey for assign-
ment. ... MLB suspended Reds minor-league pitcher Scott
Carroll for 50 games after he tested positive for a hormone.
