Losing his head

Posted by Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff July 1, 2008 07:51 PM

Jacoby Ellsbury has been struggling deeply at the plate -- with a .176 average over his last 13 games -- but he got a gift there. Ellsbury converted a swinging bunt into three bases when Dioner Navarro threw the ball past him and into the Rays bullpen area in foul territory in right field.

Ellsbury lost his helmet when he made contact with Carlos Pena, then headed to third.

Dustin Pedroia popped up, but J.D. Drew scored the run with a sacrifice fly to left field.

It's now 1-1, with that run going as unearned.
