BOSTON (AP) Orlando Cabrera homered in the bottom of the 12th inning to lead the Boston Red Sox to their second straight win in their last at-bat, 7-6 over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night.
Cabrera lined a 2-2 pitch from Rick Bauer into the Green Monster seats in left field. On Tuesday, Mark Bellhorn's two-out, two-run single in the bottom of the ninth lifted the Red Sox to a 3-2 win.
The victory moved Boston, which leads the AL wild-card race, 3½ games behind the New York Yankees in the East. The teams play a three-game series at Fenway Park over the weekend.
