Lucky sevens: Sox stay alive

Down 7-0 and down to their last seven outs, the Boston Red Sox rallied to a dramatic 8-7 comeback win over the Tampa Bay Rays last night to win Game 5 of the American League Championship Series. An RBI single from Dustin Pedroia ignited a two-out rally in the seventh, and David Ortiz followed with a three-run homer to cut the lead to 7-4. J.D. Drew then struck twice for the Sox, once with a two-run homer in the eighth and then with a two-out RBI single to plate Kevin Youkilis with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. It was the biggest comeback in LCS history. The series now moves back to Tampa, where James Shields will face Josh Beckett in Game 6 on Saturday night.
