BOSTON -- The Boston Red Sox kept fighting back. Stephen Gostkowski Jersey . The result, though, was no different than so many games in their disappointing season. A loss. The Red Sox overcame deficits of 8-6 and 12-11 but were beaten by the Los Angeles Angels 14-13 on Thursday night for their 11th loss in 15 games. "It was a wild game," Dustin Pedroia, who drove in five runs, said after the Angels completed a three-game sweep. "You felt like whoever was hitting last was going to win. We are playing hard but we need to find a way to be one run better." Boston (59-66) dropped seven games under .500 for the second time this season as closer Alfredo Aceves had his second worst outing of the year. He was one out away from finishing off a victory but ended up allowing five runs and six hits in one-plus inning. "The problem is my location," he said. "Its not the reason we lost the game, though. There were like 25 runs scored. Its not like I pitched one pitch and that is why we lost the game." The Angels had taken a 12-11 lead by scoring three runs off Aceves in the ninth. Cody Ross homered to tie it in the bottom of the inning, and Boston manager Bobby Valentine stuck with the righty Aceves (2-8) when lefty Kendrys Morales led off the 10th. The decision backfired when Morales homered into the right-field seats. "I did the same thing (Angels manager Mike) Scioscia did," Valentine said. "(Aceves) is the closer and gave up the lead. It was obviously the wrong decision." Angels closer Ernesto Frieri (2-0) blew a save when he allowed Ross homer and then gave up a run in the 10th on Pedroias RBI single before completing the victory. Los Angeles overcame deficits of 6-0, 9-8 and 11-9 and ended the night 2 1-2 games behind the second-wild card spot in the AL. "This team still has some fight in it," Angels outfielder Vernon Wells said. "We know we have a unique opportunity to do something special and, hopefully, we can continue to take advantage of it." Wells hit a solo homer to cut Bostons lead to 11-10 in the ninth and then doubled in the run in the 10th that proved to be the difference after Morales 16th homer of the season snapped a 12-12 tie. But Wells admitted that his high shot that appeared to bounce off the top of the left field wall shouldnt have been a homer. "I saw the way it bounced off, so I assumed it was a home run," he said, "but once I got in (the clubhouse) they told me otherwise, but well take it." Valentine appeared surprised when told at his postgame news conference that the home run call was wrong. "I didnt know that," he said, then sighed and lowered his head. Why didnt he ask the umpires to review the call? "None of the outfielders told me any different," he said. Frieri was charged with a blown save but secured the win when he struck out Adrian Gonzalez to end the 4-hour, 34-minute game. With the score tied at 12, Morales jumped on an 0-1 pitch from Aceves. Erick Aybar followed with a single, knocking out Aceves, and Wells hit an RBI double off Craig Breslow for the final run. The Red Sox took an 11-9 lead in the eighth on RBI singles by Jacoby Ellsbury and Pedroia, but the Angels rallied in the ninth and regained the lead on Wells homer and two-out, run-scoring singles by Torii Hunter and Mark Trumbo. Angels starter C.J. Wilson, 0-5 in his last 11 starts, struggled again. The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead in the first on a double by Pedroia and an RBI single by Gonzalez. They made it 6-0 in the second on run-scoring singles by Scott Podsednik and Ellsbury, and Pedroias 11th homer, a three-run shot. But Franklin Morales couldnt hold the lead, giving up six of the Angels eight third-inning runs. Los Angeles had six hits, three walks and an error in the inning. Chris Iannetta and Hunter had two hits each, and every member of the Angels lineup except Trumbo got on base. "We get down early (by) six runs and guys came in and said, lets just start chipping away," Scioscia said. "I guess we didnt really chip away. We put up an eight spot to get back into it." Wilson retired eight straight batters before Pedroia reached on an error by third baseman Alberto Callaspo in the fifth and scored on a single by Ross. Boston went ahead 9-8 with two runs in the sixth on Mike Aviles 12th homer and consecutive doubles by Pedro Ciriaco and Ellsbury. But Los Angeles tied it in the seventh on Trouts RBI single. Notes: The last Angels pitcher to go 11 starts without a win was Jim Abbott, whose streak reached 13 games from May 7 to Aug, 10, 1996. ... Angels first baseman Albert Pujols missed the game with tightness in his right calf. ... Red Sox left fielder Carl Crawford underwent Tommy John surgery on Thursday to reconstruct the ulnar collateral ligament in his left elbow. He is expected to be sidelined six to nine months. ... Jon Lester (7-10) pitches for the Red Sox on Friday against Bruce Chen (9-10) in the opener of a four-game series with the Kansas City Royals. ... The Angels return home for a three-game series against the Detroit Tigers with Zack Greinke (1-2) going for Los Angeles against Rick Porcello (9-8). Terrell Suggs Jersey . Prust connected with an elbow to the back of Volchenkovs helmet shortly after the Devils defenceman chipped the puck out of his zone in the second period. Volchenkov was down on the ice for close to a minute, but did continue playing. Ray Rice Jersey . Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring at the Santiago Bernabeu in the ninth minute. Karim Benzema scored four minutes later, and Mesut Oezil struck a brace after halftime. Also, Raul Tamudo scored in stoppage time to give Rayo Vallecano a 1-0 win over Granada that lifted his team out of the drop zone and condemned Villarreal. Demaryius Thomas Jersey . Evan Longoria homered to key a four-run first inning and the Rays won their sixth straight game, beating the Texas Rangers 8-4 Friday night in the first meeting this season between the playoff rivals. Eric Weddle Jersey . Fast. Rookie catcher Devin Mesoraco capped a series full of homers with his first career grand slam on Thursday night, leading Cincinnati to a 6-3 victory and four-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves. Nick Folk Jersey .M. -- Johnny Tapia, the five-time boxing champion whose turbulent career was marked by cocaine addiction, alcohol, depression and run-ins with the law, was found dead Sunday at his Albuquerque home.Flushing Meadows, NY (Sports Network) - Defending champion Novak Djokovic and 2003 titlist Andy Roddick were among the third-round winners Sunday at the U.S. Open. The second-seeded former world No. 1 Djokovic drubbed No. 31 Julien Benneteau of France 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 in 97 minutes at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Serbian has reached the round of 16 here for the sixth straight year. Next up for the 25-year-old Djokovic will be Switzerlands Stanislas Wawrinka, the No. 18 seed. Wawrinka, a 2010 U.S. Open quarterfinalist, advanced Sunday with a 6-4, 6-4, 6-2 win over 14th-seeded Ukrainian Alexandr Dolgopolov. Roddick, meanwhile, beat Italian Fabio Fognini 7-5, 7-6 (7-1), 4-6, 6-4 to extend his career at least one more match. The 20th-seeded American, who announced he would retire after the years final major, raced out to a 5-2 lead before Fognini captured the next three games to even the first set. After fighting off a break point with an ace, Roddick held serve to go up 6-5 and then took the first set when Fognini sent a backhand volley into the net. The duo exchanged breaks to begin the second set before holding serve the rest of the way, resulting in a tiebreak dominated by Roddick. The third set remained on serve until Fognini earned a break in the decisive 10th game, foorcing a fourth set. Rob Gronkowski Jersey. Fognini faced two break points in the seventh game. He save one but lost the other when he fired a ball into the net, giving Roddick a 4-3 lead. Roddick consolidated the break with a hold at 15 and finished off the three-hour match in his next service game. An ace gave him triple match point and he held off retirement with another unreturnable serve. Roddick will face 2009 U.S. Open champion Juan Martin del Potro in the fourth round. "Hes a tough matchup for anybody because he hits such a big ball," Roddick said about del Potro. "Im going to have to serve well, kind of try to rush him a little bit. When he gets into a groove and has time, hell put a hurt on the ball." The seventh-seeded Argentine defeated countryman Leonardo Mayer 6-3, 7-5, 7-6 (11-9). Fourth-seeded Spaniard David Ferrer advanced to the round of 16 for the 10th consecutive Grand Slam with a 7-6 (11-9), 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 triumph over 2001 U.S. Open champion Lleyton Hewitt.
