The Red Sox are back in first place! It was definitely touch-and-go, and the A's gave the Red Sox a real run, and both teams gave the crowd at the Tokyo Dome an excellent spectacle: back-and-forth scoring, ten innings, and the A's even scored in the bottom of the tenth to make the final score 6-5. (And they scored off Jon Papelbon to do it; there went his ERA.)

I'll note that three of the A's five pitchers are former Red Sox (Embree, Foulke, and DiNardo), and none of them were responsible for any Red Sox runs.

And congrats to new kid Brandon Moss for two RBIs, and thanks to Manny for the other four!
