Partiots Day

While thousands ran in the 110th Boston Marathon Monday, the Red Sox preferred to trot.

David Ortiz homered twice (and just missed a third) and Mark Loretta hit a walkoff homer into the Monster seats to lead the Sox over the Mariners 7-6. With the win, the Sox take three of four in the series.

Kevin Youkilis hustled out an infield single with two outs in the ninth to get Loretta to the plate.

Lenny DiNardo got the start Monday in place of David Wells, who was placed on the 15-day DL with a knee sprain. DiNardo went five innings, giving up two runs on six hits. He walked one and struck out one.

Keith Foulke pitched a perfect eighth, but gave up a couple of hits in the ninth before being lifted. One of those runners scored to give Seattle a one-run lead in the ninth.

The Sox open up a three-game series against Tampa Tuesday.
