Mike Timlin starts the eighth inning for the Red Sox. He strikes out Aaron Boone for the first out.

Update: Garica bloops one to the opposite field for a one out single.

Update: Soriano breaks his bat and Garciaparra forces Garcia at 2nd. Jeter up with a chance to cement in place in Red Sox infamy.

Update: Soriano goes on the first pitch and steals 2nd to put himself in scoring position.

Update: With the closeups of Timlin, it strikes me that he looks like the actor who played the trainer in Seabiscuit.

Update: Jeter hits a shot to Mueller, who bobbles the ball, but keeps it in front of him and gets Jeter. To the ninth, Red Sox still lead by one.
