Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Jonathan Papelbon(notes) reacts as he walks to the dugout after giving up three runs and allowing the Oakland Athletics to tie the score in the ninth inning of a baseball game at Fenway Park in Boston on Tuesday, July 28, 2009.

Rajai Davis singled home Mark Ellis in the ninth to send the game into extra innings, then did it again in the 11th on Tuesday night and the Oakland Athletics beat the Boston Red Sox 9-8. Boston led 7-4 when Jonathan Papelbon blew just his third save in 28 opportunites, thanks in part to two ninth-inning throwing errors by shortstop Nick Green.
