Sox Fall In Extras to Os

The Red Sox headed into Camden Yards for a 4 game series with the Os.  The Sox were coming off winning a series against the Rays and having a 3 game lead in the AL East.  The Sox had Felix Doubront on the mound and the  O's had Kevin Gausman.  

Doubront started off well, but he wouldn't be long for the game.  Dubi pitched his first two scoreless innings before finding himself in trouble in the 3rd.  Doubront gave up a leadoff HR to Valencia and then gave up RBI singles to Machado and Davis.  Sox 0-3.  In the 4th the Sox bats started climbing back by hitting back to back HRs by Papi and Carp.  Sox 2-3.  The O's got a run back in the 5th when Markakis got on by a throwing error from Middlebrooks, Jones got hit by a pitch and then Wieters hit an RBI single to score Markakis.  Sox 2-4.  Doubront issued another walk and that would be it for him for the night.  Doubront was out and Morales was in.  Morales got the out to get out of the inning, while Doubront continued to have problems going deep into games.  Morales also pitched a scoreless 6th inning and then the Sox bats got to work to tie the game in the 7th.  With the bases loaded Drew hit a sac fly and then Ellsbury almost hit into a double play, but he beat the throw to first base.  Game tied 4-4.  

Andrew Miller came out and pitched scoreless 7th and 8th innings and then handed the ball over to Junichi Tazawa would pitched a scoreless 9th inning to send us to extras and then a scoreless 10th to keep us there.  After that Alex Wilson who was just called up when Aceves was sent down took the mound.  Wilson pitched scoreless 11th and 12th innings and was looking impressive.  Wilson took the mound in the 13th and his luck ran out.  Wilson issued a walk to Markakis, a single to Jones and the game winning walk off single to Davis.  

The Sox took this game late into the night and couldn't come up with the win, but I appreciate their fight and the "never say die" attitude.
