OAKLAND, Calif. -- David Ortiz saved his only hit for a key moment for the Boston Red Sox. Ortiz connected for a leadoff home run in the 10th inning, and the Red Sox beat the Oakland Athletics 7-6 on Sunday to avoid a four-game series sweep. "I like to go out there and make things happen," Ortiz said. "Weve had a good game, had a good series and then we go back to struggles. So hopefully everything changes at some point." Ortiz was the only Boston starter without a hit until he lined a 1-2 pitch from Fernando Abad (2-3) over the wall in left-centre for his 17th homer. The Red Sox had to go extra innings after letting a 6-1 lead slip away. The As scored three runs in the eighth, and then homered twice in the ninth against Koji Uehara (3-1). The closer had converted 31 consecutive save opportunities dating to 2013. "Im getting hit on day games," Uehara said through an interpreter. "I think its because Im old. Im not woken up." The Red Sox pulled within 6 1/2 games of first-place Toronto in the AL East. New York and Baltimore are 1 1/2 games back. Ortizs homer came four days after the designated hitter belted a tying drive in the 10th inning of a 2-1 victory against Minnesota. "He does have the knack for the moment," Boston manager John Farrell said. "More than anything he stays at rest or at peace mentally in those key spots and doesnt miss his pitch when he gets it." Mike Napoli and David Ross also homered for Boston, which had been limited to two runs or fewer in eight consecutive games. Napoli scored another run as part of a double steal, and former As player Jonny Gomes added a two-run single. Oaklands late surge negated a strong outing by Boston starter Jon Lester. Lester, who had a career-high 15 strikeouts against the As earlier this season, allowed two earned runs and four hits over 7 2-3 innings. He struck out four and walked two. The veteran left-hander left after hitting Craig Gentry and walking Jed Lowrie with two outs in the eighth. Burke Badenhop came in and gave up three consecutive RBI singles to make it 6-4 before Andrew Miller got pinch-hitter Coco Crisp to line out to shortstop. Uehara, who had the longest successful save streak in the majors, blew a shot at extending his impressive run when he yielded home runs by Stephen Vogt and pinch-hitter John Jaso. "Thats a good example of the kind of grit and determination this team has," said Oakland closer Sean Doolittle, who grounded out to second as a pinch hitter in the 10th. "Night after night it seems like its only a matter of time before our offence finds a way to come through and push some runs across." Oakland catcher Derek Norris had to leave the game in the 10th after a frightening situation when he was hit in the back of the head by Gomes bat on a follow-through swing. Norris immediately dropped to the ground as home plate Greg Gibson quickly called for As trainers. Norris was eventually helped to his feet and walked to the dugout. He was taken to a hospital as precaution and was scheduled to undergo a CAT scan. Boston broke out of its week-long scoring slump and got to Tommy Milone after loading the bases with two outs in the first on two singles and a walk. Gomes two-run single put the Red Sox up 2-0. Ross, who homered off Milone earlier this season at Fenway Park, did it again on the first pitch in the second. NOTES: Oaklands last four-game sweep of Boston came in 1971 at Fenway Park. ... Oakland 1B Kyle Blanks left after getting thrown out at home in the second. Blanks has been nursing a calf strain and aggravated it while sliding into home plate. ...

The Bombers (1-7) announced they had signed import defensive end Greg Peach Thursday and then confirmed he will play in Sundays game against Saskatchewan (7-1). Defensive co-ordinator Casey Creehan says he likes the way Peach goes all out in a game. "After the performance we put out there in the first quarter of last week -- we had guys turning down hits we had guys not running to the ball -- we played uninspired football and we arent going to tolerate it," he said. "Bringing a guy like Greg Peach in, I know that he will play balls to the wall, 100 miles an hour every snap." Peach agrees with Creehans assessment that the effort he puts in is one of biggest strengths. "I might not be the most freakish athlete, I just give everything Ive got, every play and I work my pass rush," he said. "Its worked for me and here I am, five years later, and I hope to play another five at least." He was released by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats where he appeared in 15 games last season, registering 36 tackles and six sacks. Hes worked with Creehan before and feels comfortable with his style of defence. Peach came into the CFL with the Edmonton Eskimos in 2009 and said Thursday he was happy to get plucked out of free agency quickly. Meanwhile, head coach Tim Burke says the Bombers wont announce who their starting quarterback will be until Friday morning. Max Hall has been nursing an injured hand but it didnt seem to hamper his throwing much in practice Thursday. Buck Pierce is also out with an unspecified injury. Justin Goltz is healthy and was also taking lots of snaps Thursday. He says he feels comfortable with the new offence Marcel Bellefeuille has brought to thee team since replacing Gary Crowton this month at offensive co-ordinator.dddddddddddd Its just one of the many changes the Bombers have implemented to turn around a dismal season that has already led to the firing of general manager Joe Mack and team president Garth Buchko. This week alone the Bombers cut place-kicker Justin Palardy and receiver Isaac Anderson. They also signed new receivers Mike Sims-Walker, a five-season NFL veteran, and Aaron Kelly, who spent two years with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats before being released this spring. Also new in town is quarterback Jason Boltus. Like Peach has with Creehan, Boltus has connections to Bellefeuille. He spent three seasons as a backup in Hamilton when Bellefeuille was head coach. Burke has told his current starters that their jobs are on the line and veteran receiver Terrence Edwards says players have to show their maturity. "Weve just to keep fighting and keep pushing and try to get this thing turned around one game at a time, starting with this game," he said. "Im going to try and lead by example." On paper it doesnt look like the Bombers have much of a chance against the Roughriders. Saskatchewan has scored a league high 264 points so far this season and allowed just 177, while Winnipeg has allowed a league high 247 and scored just 167. The Bombers havent managed to beat Saskatchewan in their annual Labour Day weekend game since 2004 and last year were humiliated 52-0. Their one and only win this season was July 4 in Montreal but Burke says he expects his team to go out and do their best Sunday. "My expectations are that we play hard and we are competitive," he said. "If you play hard and are competitive then you have a chance to win. Thats my main focus, to make sure we are the best we can be going into that game."
