BOSTON -- Chris Davis has rewritten the Baltimore Orioles record book with 51 homers, and he leads the majors with 92 extra-base hits. Sometimes a single is good enough. The Orioles slugger drove in the game-winning runs with his 12th-inning single to beat Boston 5-3 on Wednesday night and help Baltimore avoid elimination in the AL East. Matt Wieters had a pair of RBI doubles for Baltimore, which moved one game behind Texas in the race for the ALs second wild-card spot when the Rangers lost 4-3 in 12 innings to the Tampa Bay Rays. "Any time youre in a game like that you want to be the guy to get the hit -- whether its a squibber up the middle or a home run or whatever it is," Davis said. "You can feel the intensity of both teams trying to get a run. Ill take it whatever way I can get it." The Red Sox magic number to clinch the AL East remained at three. But Boston moved one game closer to guaranteeing itself at least a wild-card berth when the Kansas City Royals beat Cleveland 7-2. "We know where the playoffs are. We know how far away we are. Were not stupid," catcher David Ross said moments after the clubhouse TV showed the Tampa Bay Rays beating Texas. "So we feel pretty good about our chances." T.J. McFarland (2-1) worked the 11th for the win and Jim Johnson got the final three outs for his AL-leading 47th save. "We ended up with a W at the end of a long challenging night," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Im so proud of everybody. You can see why Bostons had a great year." The Orioles played their 114th errorless game, surpassing the 2008 Houston Astros for the majors most since 1900. J.J. Hardy and Brian Roberts had consecutive one-out singles and both advanced on a wild pitch by Franklin Morales (2-2). After pinch-hitter Steve Pearce was intentionally walked, Manny Machado fouled out before Davis grounded one up the middle into centre field. Boston had runners on first and second with one out in the 11th, but Stephen Drew grounded into a double play. David Ortiz hit his 28th home run -- a two-run shot -- and Mike Napoli added a solo homer for the Red Sox. Baltimore had pulled in front 3-2 in the sixth on Wieters RBI double, but Napoli hit his solo homer into the centre field bleachers leading off the bottom of the inning against Wei-Yin Chen. Boston jumped ahead 2-0 in the first on Ortizs long homer into the seats about 15 rows back in right field. Victorino singled before Ortiz hit the first pitch, holding his bat and admiring his drive for a while before rounding the bases. Boston starter Jake Peavy went seven innings, allowing three runs, six hits, striking out eight and walking one. Chen gave up three runs on 11 hits, striking out five without a walking a batter in 5 2-3 innings. Boston closer Koji Uehara pitched a perfect 10th one night after having his club-record streak of retiring 37 consecutive batters snapped and taking the loss. Baltimore tied it with two runs in the fifth. Danny Valencia had the Orioles first hit -- a leadoff single -- and scored on Wieters double into the centre field triangle just over the glove of Victorinos running bid. Roberts RBI doubled tied it. Mixing a well-spotted fastball with a slider and change up, Peavy struck out seven and opened the game with four hitless innings. He walked Roberts on for the first base runner with two outs in the third. The Red Sox had the bases loaded with no outs in the third, but Napoli lined to short and Jonny Gomes bounced into a double play. NOTES: Boston CF Jacoby Ellsbury, sidelined for his 11th straight game after breaking a small bone in his right foot, said hes still planning to be back by the end of the regular season. "Im making great progress. The doctors are pleased with how things are going," he said. "Im taking it day by day." ... Showalter said hell know Thursday whether Miguel Gonzalez (sore right groin) or Bud Norris (sore right elbow) will be able to start Saturday. "Miguel feels pretty good today. Thats pretty encouraging," Showalter said. "I was surprised. He might be a choice for Saturday. Hes going to throw (Thursday). Im going to make a decision (Thursday) whether its Miggy, Bud or somebody else." ... Boston manager John Farrell said "I can see us going with 11 pitchers," when asked his plan for a probable Divisional playoff series.

The Milwaukee Brewers got their payback the very next pitch. Jonathan Lucroy homered twice, including a grand slam in an eventful seventh inning, and the Brewers made it two in a row over Arizona by beating the Diamondbacks 7-5 on Tuesday night. Lucroys slam to centre came on Brad Zieglers first delivery after Arizona reliever Evan Marshall was ejected for hitting Ryan Braun with a pitch. "They won the tough-guy points, but I dont know what the stats are for those," Milwaukee starter Kyle Lohse said. "We won the game because of that." Brewers manager Ron Roenicke called Lucroys at-bat "probably the best Ive ever seen." "After they smoke our guy, they bring in their closer, the first pitch he sees he hits a grand slam. Theres no way an at-bat can get bigger than that," he said. It was the first grand slam and only the 16th home run allowed by Ziegler, who is not usually the Arizona closer. The Brewers couldnt understand why the Diamondbacks picked that moment to hit Braun. "We know the way the game works," Braun said. "I was surprised I got hit in that situation, those circumstances — go-ahead run at second base, tying run at third." Lucroy insisted the Diamondbacks drilling Braun did not provide added motivation. "Im not about revenge or payback," the catcher said. "Im just about winning the game. It worked out for us." Marshall (2-2) took the loss, facing three batters without getting an out after relieving starter Mike Bolsinger, who was called up from Triple-A Reno earlier in the day. Lucroy had a solo homer in the sixth. Aramis Ramirez also hit a solo shot for the Brewers. Lohse (8-2), who had hit three batters all season, plunked two in his six innings. He grazed Didi Gregorius to start the game, then hit Chris Owings just below the back of his head to start the sixth. Lohse also threw one over Bolsingers head, and the Brewers hit a batter in Monday nights win as well. All that apparently led to Marshall retaliating. "I am not going to comment on that," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "You have been around the game long enough." With a slight smile on his face, Marshall said he didnt hit Braun on purpose. Lohse allowed four runs, three earned, and six hits. The Brewers trailed 4-2 when he was lifted for a pinch-hitter in a five-run seventh.dddddddddddd Arizonas Roger Kieschnick hit his first career homer, off Francisco Rodriguez to start the ninth. The ball landed in the swimming pool beyond the right-field fence. Singles by pinch-hitter Cody Ross and Gerardo Parra put runners at first and second with one out, but Rodriguez struck out Paul Goldschmidt. Miguel Montero bounced out to first to end it, and Rodriguez earned his major league-leading 22nd save. With the Brewers trailing 4-2, Jean Segura led off the seventh with his second triple of the night, off the wall in centre, and scored on Elian Herreras sacrifice fly. That ended the night for Bolsinger, who had a 4-2 lead when he left. He wound up allowing three runs on seven hits with six strikeouts and no walks in 6 1-3 innings. Marshall came in and gave up a pinch-hit single to Lyle Overbay, then a double by Scooter Gennett to put runners on second and third. That brought up Braun. Marshalls first pitch went behind the batter, leading plate umpire Ted Barrett to walk to the mound for a nose-to-nose conversation with the Arizona pitcher. The very next pitch, Marshall plunked Braun just above the left hip to load the bases. "Thats ridiculous," Lucroy said. "Its overreacting." Barrett immediately tossed Marshall, who got high-fives from his teammates in the Diamondbacks dugout. But with the bases loaded, Lucroy homered to left-centre, above the 413-foot sign, and Milwaukee led 7-4. Gibson has been outspoken since Brauns 65-game suspension last year for violating baseballs drug agreement during the 2011 season, which included the sluggers big series when the Brewers edged the Diamondbacks in the NL playoffs. Asked if he thought that figured in Marshalls pitch, Braun said: "Youd have to ask him (Gibson). I wish him the best, hope he finds peace and happiness in his life." NOTES: It was the second ejection for the Diamondbacks in two nights. Gibson was tossed in the ninth inning Monday. ... A victory would have lifted Arizona out of last place in the NL West. ... To make room for Bolsinger, the Diamondbacks optioned reliever Will Harris to Triple-A Reno. ... Brewers CF Carlos Gomez sat out his second consecutive game with a sore hamstring. ... In the third game of the four-game series Wednesday night, the Brewers send Matt Garza (4-4, 4.17 ERA) to the mound against Wade Miley (3-6, 4.71). ' ' '
