Gomes' HR lifts Red Sox to doubleheader sweep, plus more AL scores
BOSTON — Jonny Gomes hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night, completing a doubleheader sweep.
Daniel Nava was aboard on a leadoff walk when Gomes followed with a towering shot off Joel Peralta (1-3) that cleared the Green Monster and bounced off the sign just to the right of the foul pole.
It was a dramatic ending to a very long day, which started at 1 p.m.

“He’s always been big and skilled, but I think the thing that sets him apart now is his confidence.” Chris stewart, Episcopal boys soccer coach
Adam Clausen’s mind starts racing as he looks at a calendar listing camps and college trips. Within moments, the Episcopal senior-to-be is on a different mental track.
Clausen explains his senior honors thesis, and why he’d like to be an orthopedic surgeon.
Such reversals are nothing new for Clausen, who proved his versatility this spring while helping Episcopal become the first Baton Rouge-based boys soccer team to win a state title since 2000.
Saints’ Gleason accepts apologies from radio talk-show hosts
Former Saints special teams icon Steve Gleason said Tuesday via his foundation’s Facebook page that he accepted the apologizes of three Atlanta sports radio talk-show hosts that mocked his incurable and fatal disease.
Their on-air skit one day earlier centered around a mock interview of Gleason, 36, who suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease.
The degenerative disease attacks motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord.
“Mayhem In The AM” hosts Steve “Steak” Shapiro and Chris Dimino pretended to interview Gleason, played by co-host Nick Cellini, who mimicked Gleason’s computer-assisted voice with a tangent of dark knock-knock jokes.
