May 27 -- Red Sox 6, Rangers 5

Dustin Pedroia and Eric Gagné waged an epic battle in the ninth inning in Texas. Called strike. Foul. Ball. Ball. Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. Foul. Home run. On the 12th pitch of the at-bat in a one-run game, Pedroia served notice that, soon enough, he would be making a regular impact at the plate.
