RHP Jonathan Papelbon etched his name into the Red Sox franchise record books when he recorded his 133rd career save in a stunning, come-from-behind, 11-inning victory. Papelbon was pitching in a game for the third straight day, and it came on the heels of his second blown save of the season on Tuesday night. The save gave Papelbon sole possession of the all-time franchise lead, which had been held by RHP Bob Stanley since he retired in 1989. Papelbon is tied for third in the American League with 20 saves this season. |

In Wednesday's 6-5, 11-inning win over the Orioles, Papelbon got three outs for his 20th save this season and 133rd with the Red Sox, breaking the team record held by Bob Stanley. Advice: "Obviously, it feels good," said Papelbon, who yielded the key hit in the eighth inning Tuesday in which Boston's bullpen blew a 10-1 lead before losing 11-10. "When I set out to be the closer of the Boston Red Sox, there were definitely a lot of goals in sight and this was one of them. To finally get it and get it out of my head, you know, to stop thinking about it, is definitely good for me. It's done with. Let's move on." |

Papelbon blew a save chance Tuesday night in Boston's loss to Baltimore. Recommendation: The Orioles staged a fantastic comeback, scoring 10 runs in the seventh and eighth innings to overcome a 10-1 deficit. By the time the O's worked over every other member of Boston's league-leading bullpen, it was inevitable that they would touch up Papelbon, too. This was Papelbon's second blown save of the season. |
