Right fielder Xavier Nady ripped 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the
blistering-hot Detroit 40's staged a dramatic comeback over the Boston
Stranglers by a score of 7 to 5 at Fenway Park.
 
Detroit came up with the deciding runs in the top of the 9th inning with 3
runs using 2 hits.  After an out was recorded, Martin Prado kicked off the
action when he doubled.  Bengie Molina came next and he reached on an error.
Grady Sizemore was next to the plate, but was promptly struck out.  Melvin
Mora was up next and he clubbed a three-run home run (his 6th of the season).
Boston had 10 hits in the game while Detroit had 7, but Detroit had the more
timely hits.  
 
Damaso Marte(8-3) got the win allowing no runs in 1 and 1/3 innings. Marte was
helped out by Trevor Hoffman who recorded his 1st save.  The loss was charged
to Joakim Soria(4-4) in relief.  He pitched 2/3 of an inning giving up 1 hit
and no walks.
 
Jim Leyland was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in your last at
bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got out there?
You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead.  But, hey, that's what
makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says, 'it's not over
'til its over.'

WEB GEMS- Bot 5th: Carlos Beltran robbed Kevin Youkilis of an extra base hit.
 
At Dolphins Stadium the powerful Wall St Millionaires outscored the Sunshine
State Stalkers 8 to 5.
 
Wall St won the game with a rally in the top of the 9th inning with 3 runs on
4 hits.  Carl Crawford led off the inning for Wall St when he delivered a
one-base hit.  Akinori Iwamura stepped up to the plate and he lined a
base-hit.  Aaron Miles then ripped a base-knock.  Jimmy Rollins was up next
and he drew a walk to load the bases.  Matt Kemp was the next batter, but he
struck out.  Albert Pujols continued the rally and doubled.  Nate McLouth
stepped up next and he was walked intentionally.  Carlos Beltran followed,
but he was set down on strikes.  This was the kind of game that many fans
love as the lead changed hands 5 times.  
 
Edinson Volquez(15-10) was the winner allowing 5 runs in 8 innings. Volquez
got help from Matt Capps who earned his 20th save.  John Grabow(2-5) was
charged with the loss in relief.  He pitched 2 innings allowing 4 hits and no
walks.
