Pedroia 9th Inning Hit Gives Sox Win
[photogallerylink id=28686 align=right]Dustin Pedroia singled home the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning and the Boston Red Sox overcame Manny Ramirez's homer to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-4 on Saturday.
Boston improved to 7-1 on a nine-game homestand and will go for a three-game sweep of the Dodgers when Clay Buchholz faces Hiroki Kuroda on Sunday night.
Ramirez homered in his second game back at Fenway Park against his former team, a sixth-inning solo shot off Tim Wakefield.
Victor Martinez had a two-run homer and Kevin Youkilis a solo shot for the Red Sox.
Wakefield made his 200th career start at Fenway, tying Roger Clemens for most in club history.
