"Fenway Park was not even half full when Adrian Gonzalez walked to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning last night. Raw, rainy weather and a six-run deficit against the Orioles had sent most of the fans scurrying for the streets.

They missed witnessing one of the victories that could come to define the season.

Gonzalez drove a two-run double off the wall in left field that gave the Red Sox a stunning 8-7 victory on a night when all seemed lost."
