After a scoreless inning from the other home town hero, Hideki Okajima, the stage was set for extra innings. Lugo led off the 10th with an infield hit after the first baseman Barton couldn't scoop Hannahan's throw from third. Pedroia sacrificed Lugo to second which set up the usual pick your poison scenario with Ortiz and Manny coming up. The A's chose to walk Ortiz, who was 0-4, and pitched to I'm going to hit 600 home runs Manny. Down a couple of strikes, Houston threw a fastball down the wrong street and Manny blasted it off the top of the center field wall, scoring Pedroia and the off on contact Ortiz. The Sox took a 6-4 lead.
