Lead gets away in tough loss for Red Sox

BOSTON -- The White Sox rallied in dramatic fashion on Wednesday night at Fenway Park, riding homers by Melky Cabrera and Brett Lawrie in the top of the eighth against Koji Uehara en route to an 8-6 victory over the Red Sox.

The Red Sox nearly came back twice in the bottom of the eighth. First came a drive by Xander Bogaerts that looked like it might clear the Monster and tie the score. However, a fan seated in the front row of the Monster Seats deflected the ball back into play.
