Orioles ride late-inning rally past reeling Red Sox
ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON — Ty Wigginton hit a tie-breaking three-run homer in the seventh and Brad Bergesen pitched six strong innings to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 9-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday night.
Wigginton drove his 21st homer of the season just inside the right field foul pole off Scott Atchison, who came in after Clay Buchholz allowed one unearned run and four hits in six innings.
Buchholz lowered his ERA from 2.48 to 2.39, second in the AL to Seattle's Felix Hernandez at 2.35, Atchison (2-3) allowed three hits and retired just one batter.
Bergesen (8-10) gave up one run and five hits as he allowed three runs or fewer for the ninth time in his last 10 starts.
Wigginton's homer made it 4-1, and the Orioles added a run in the
Boston took a 1-0 lead in the second on Daniel Nava's RBI single. Baltimore tied it in the sixth when Adam Jones, who had singled, scored from first with two outs on an error by second baseman Marco Scutaro when a very high popup by Felix Pie ticked off his glove and fell behind him.
The Red Sox had a chance to go ahead in the bottom of the sixth when Jed Lowrie walked with two outs and Ryan Kalish hit a drive to deep right-center. But the ball bounced into the stands for a grounds-rule double, forcing Lowrie to stop at third. Nava then took a called third strike.
eighth on Robert Andino's sacrifice fly and four in the ninth off Jonathan Papelbon.
Cesar Izturis led off the top of the seventh with a single and was forced at second on a grounder by Brian Roberts. Nick Markakis singled and Wigginton at Atchison's
first pitch to him for a homer.
The Red Sox threatened in the seventh with two outs and runners at first and third, but David Ortiz struck out for the 54th time in 170 at-bats against lefties when he looked at a third strike from Michael Gonzalez.
Bergesen allowed one hit in his last three innings, Kalish's double in the sixth. In his last start on Sept. 15, a 3-1 win over Toronto, he pitched his third career complete game. His ERA over his last 10 starts is 2.31.
Buchholz struck out five and gave up four hits and three walks but allowed runners in each of his innings. In three of them, he again showed his knack for working out of trouble by stranding runners at third base. Opponents are hitting 1.68 with runners in scoring position against him, the lowest average in the AL.

DETROIT — Mike Aviles drove in three runs, rookie Jerrod Dyson scored three times and the Kansas City Royals beat the Detroit Tigers 9-6 on Tuesday night.

The Royals rallied in the fifth to take the lead. Galarraga retired the first two batters, but Dyson singled, stole second, took third on a passed ball and scored on Aviles' single.
Butler followed with his third single of the game, and Wilson Betemit walked to load the bases. Kila Kaaihue walked to drive in
a run and Yuniesky Betancourt hit an infield single that Galarraga threw away, allowing a second run to score.
Butler made it 5-3 with a sixth-
inning sacrifice fly, and the Royals
put the game away in the eighth.
Lucas May started the inning with a single, and Dyson laid down a bunt. Figaro misplayed the ball for an error, then threw it away for his second error on the play. Aviles followed with a two-run single to give the Royals a four-run lead.
Kansas City added two runs in the ninth on RBIs by May and Dyson.

Toronto leads the majors with 232 homers, including an ML-high 131 at home. The Blue Jays hit a team-record 244 homers in 2000.

Freshman quarterback Jordan Webb fires the ball to a receiver Friday. Webb's only turnover this season was a deflection off a wide receiver.
WEBB (CONTINUED FROM 10A)
I've been around a situation with having a freshman quarterback and a freshman running back and not turning the ball over," Long said. "We went through a game with no turnovers and one penalty on offense, and that speaks well of their discipline and their protecting the football."
After fall camp, coach Turner Gill attributed Pick's superior athleticism and ball protection skills as the reason why the sophomore was named starter. While the offense has struggled at times, but one of their big-
"Nobody hits the quarterback in fall camp, so we really didn't see him fumbling or anything, but Jordan was never really given that position of leadership," said senior offensive lineman Brad Thorson. "He's shown it when he's in at quarterback, but when you become the guy, he's matured really quickly. He holds himself much better than you'd expect a freshman to."

That developing confidence in Webb may lead to an open-
"We're want to work our game plan, but we're also working a game plan that is conducive to what he can do best at this point time." Long said. "Are we at the expanding stage with him? No, we're just not there yet. So we've really cut back to make sure he's productive at that position and not getting us beat."

Spartans tight end steals computers
DETROIT — Burglarls broke into Detroit Public Schools, hauled away laptops worth $158,800 and sold them as far away as the Middle East.
On Tuesday, 10 men were charged with participating in a crime ring that sold 104 stolen computers in seven other states, Canada and the United Arab Emirates. Internal tracking devices led officials to stolen DPS computers.
Spartans tight end Dion Sims, 19, of Ypsilanti and MSU student Nicholas Tisdale, 18, of West Bloomfield are accused of receiving and concealing stolen property, a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
