St. Petersburg, FL -- (Sports Network) - Fernando Perez raced home on B.J. Upton's sacrifice fly in the 11th inning, giving Tampa Bay a dramatic 9-8 win over the Boston Red Sox to cap a wild Game 2 of the American League Championship Series. A total of seven home runs were hit in the game, tying a postseason record. That included two by Boston's Dustin Pedroia, but in the end, the gritty Rays evened the best-of-seven series. Evan Longoria had three hits, including a homer, and drove in three runs. Upton also homered off Josh Beckett, as did Cliff Floyd for the Rays. Kevin Youkilis and Jason Bay homered for Boston, which went 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position and left 13 men on base. Boston's franchise-record six-game road postseason winning streak came to an end. Mike Timlin (0-1) walked Dioner Navarro to start the bottom of the 11th. Perez then came on as a pinch-runner, and Ben Zobrist drew a walk. Jason Bartlett grounded out to third, but the runners moved up a base and Timlin intentionally walked Akinori Iwamura before Upton lofted a fly ball to short right field. J.D. Drew made the catch, but his throw home was toward the third base line, and Perez was easily safe, ending the 5-hour, 27-minute marathon just after 1:30 a.m. David Price (1-0), the first overall pick in last year's draft, recorded the final two outs of the top of the 11th to get the win. Another key part of the victory was a 3 1/3rd inning performance on the mound by Dan Wheeler, who allowed just one hit and had four strikeouts. The series shifts to Boston for Game 3 Monday afternoon. Matt Garza is the expected starter for the Rays, while Jon Lester gets the ball for the defending World Series champions.
