>> joe: a one-run game as we go into the nine little inning. 9:00 straight up here in chicago. give you an update and a little recap after something happens here to start the ninth inning and it's a base hit off the bat of mike aviles. he's 2 for 4 on the night. nick punto will come off the bench.

to bat for padilla. there was a three-run shot for chicago in the seventh that made it 4-3. lester gave way to the bullpen in the seventh and saltalamacchia with a two-run home run in the fourth inning. been on base three times tonight. and here is punto. the cubs are looking for the bunt. the red sox have a bench now of darnell mcdonald, kelly shoppach, and the backup catcher alfredo aceves gets loose. punto, a vital part, part-time starter, bench player for the cardinals last year. he got a ring. no sign of a bunt. he takes a strike >> tim: you know why i think there's no sign of a bunt, joe, is because podsednik is the on deck batter. scott does not have a lot of power to drive the ball to the

outfield. the outfield will be playing shallow. i think that's why he did it on the first pitch, thinking he had a good pitch to hit, the ball was inside. we will see. >> joe: see if they stick with the swing or let him bunt. a check on the runner at first. as the right-hander gets loose. shawn camp was up earlier, and he is cranking it up again, while aceves, the closer for the red sox, gets loose in right. corpas, did walk a man. here's the 1-0. now the bunt. the bunt is foul for strike 2. 0-2.

aviles will have to go back to first. we will see what bobby valentine does here. probably back to the swing. jerry royster, the third-base coach. punto hitting just .209. valbuena backs up a bit over at third. a check on aviles. the cubs trying to get up off the deck and take the first two games of this three-game set here at wrigley. the red sox losing yesterday, 3-0. led tonight 4-0 until the bottom of the seventh when dale sveum's third baseman, valbuena, hit an opposite-field three-run home run off of lester.

the charts for dale sveum. now an 0-2 pitch to punto. outside. ball 1. punto waits for the 0-1 fitch corpas. he got him. corpas gets him on a strikeout as he pulled the string and punto does not advance the runner. >> tim: that's the first time corpas has thrown that change-up. that was a beauty. coming back from tommy john surgery. punto way out in front. we talked about it earlier. jeff baker playing for the rockies in 2007. so did corpas, playing against the red sox in the world series.

>> joe: you can help keep dad in the game. join major league baseball in support ago prostate cancer foundation with a home run challenge. visit mlb community.org. the home run challenge.org to learn more. the batter is podsednik. he's 2 for 4. his rbi is the difference in the game. it came in the seventh. here goes aviles. the throw-down by castillo. in time. got him. two out. >> tim: what a rocket. we talked about castillo earlier, about his footwork behind home plate. and dale sveum saying he's going to be a regular catcher one of these days. that's a tough play. a short hop, backhanded, and he throws a strike to second base. boy, that's impressive. that's hard to do. >> joe: and you can see why sveum likes what he sees defensively out of castillo, and then he finished the comments by saying, "and he'll hit, too." and he did that in the minor leagues this year, so he's

getting his chance. soto was not hitting when he went down. he had arthroscopic surgery on his knee. he will be back the beginning of the week when the cubs are on the south side. 2-0, the count on podsednik with pedroia on deck. it's a one-run game. out of play. 2-1. the cubs in the bottom of this ninth inning will have baker. then the pitcher's spot. then castillo. anybody gets on, valbuena, who has the only rbis for the cubs with the three-run shot two innings ago. 2-1 on podsednik. look for a three-hit night. out in front of that pitch, 2-2.

there's rain in ther and it's headed our way. the red sox have lost three on the bases tonight in what is now a one-run game. aviles is trying to steal here in the ninth. here comes the 2-2 pitch. that drills podsednik to keep the top of the ninth inning going. >> tim: that fastball from corpas hit scott in the right pocket. right below it. >> joe: here comes pedroia, who is 0 for 4 tonight with four groundouts.

nothing really hard hit tonight so far for dustin. he tries to figure out corpas, the right-hander. two out in the inning, and podsednik, this would be the time to run. he draws a throw. scott is 6 of 7 trying to steal bases since he was added to this roster. he brings a different element to this boston team. something they lack when they don't have jacoby ellsbury around or carl crawford. corpas drops down and misses. down and away, ball 1. >> tim: a better pitch to run on here because of the chance of a pitchout remote. plus you got a guy who can handle the bat. not afraid to hit with two strikes in pedroia. he can afford to take a pitch if he sees podsednik running. >> joe: remember on deck is nava, not david ortiz. he was lifted for defense. dropped down and pedroia swung

at a chin-high pitch. one ball, one strike. there's nava. here's the 1-1. way outside from corpas. ball 2. >> tim: just watching castillo move behind the plate, he reminds me of benito santiago when he first came into the league back in 1986 with san diego. similar movements with that long, wiry body. but with that throw to second base, i think that deterred bobby valentine for sending

podsednik. >> joe: i was going to say, it got the attention of podsednik, i'm sure. valentine, who was watching aviles cut down for the second out of the inning. 2-1, the count on pedroia. popped up. right side. it will stay in play and it's darwin barney who wants it, has it, and sets us up for the bottom of the ninth inning. aceves will take over. baker a pinch hitter, and castillo coming up. cubs down by 1. ♪ you can tell that it's mine when you look in my eyes ♪

but he has been on a roll and here he is trying to save it for jon lester. >> tim: that last number was what the cubs are looking at going into the ninth inning, hoping perhaps to get a ball up in the wind and take advantage of that wind blowing out and tie the game. >> joe: cleffenger will lead it off, then lahair, who is in the on-deck circle. clevenger batting for baker. then lahair and then castillo. clevenger had a hit in yesterday's first inning. the cubs, if they have done one thing, they have scored ninth inning runs, the most in baseball with 42.

clevenger will try to get it going. one. two catchers, soon-to-be three catchers on the active roster for the cubs, with soto coming back. strike 1. >> tim: that was hittable. he wants that one back. a good swing on a bad pitch. behind in the count. >> joe: we saw valbuena get one up into the jet stream out to left center in the seventh on a similar pitch. it is blowing out. here comes the 0-1. from aceves. had him out in front. now it's 0-2. clayton mortenson, a right-hander who was just activated, is getting some work in down in the bullpen. he was recalled when beckett went on the dl today. a fly ball into center. a base hit! and on an 0-2 count, clevenger

is on to start the ninth inning for chicago. >> tim: aceves tried to come inside. i know it was hit hard, but that is not a bad 0-2 pitch. he crowded him around the letters. sometimes you just have to tip your cap to the hitter, and that was the case with clevenger then. >> joe: and here's a kid that grew up a red sox fan, brian lahair. >> tim: the first major league hits against the red sox. >> joe: and he's got a flare for the dramatic. he had a great series here against the cubs rival, the cardinals, earlier in the season. you can see his favorite player, nomar garciaparra. ken rosenthal, you have more on brian lahair? >> tim: he definitely has new england roots. he played for j.p., the former

blue jay gm as a basketball player in high school. and nomar's younger brother was in lahair's wedding. they were teammates at the seattle mariners organization. >> joe: he's got a ton of power, and it wouldn't take much from him to get one out of here with this wind blowing out and be a hero for the cubs tonight. >> tim: twelve home runs on the year. he got to the big leagues year. a check on the runner. clevenger, who has a tiny lead. a winning run at the plate. tieing run at first here in the

ninth. strike 2. >> tim: good change-up again from aceves. >> joe: well-framed by saltalamacchia. 8 of the 12 home runs hit by lahair this season has either tied the game or given them the lead. if he gets one here, he will give the cubs a win. spoils the pitch. 81 miles per hour from aceves. still 0-2. he's a guy that's really hit well against right-handed pitching.

.333. out to talk is saltalamacchia. the tieing run at first, winning run at the plate. nobody out here in the ninth inning. the cubs and red sox. aceves steps off. [booing] >> joe: late swing and a foul. >> tim: that's what happens when

you throw two straight changeups in a row and you make a major league hitter look bad. it slows down the bat. that's why the fastball inside is a good pitch after two good change-ups. >> joe: lahair waits for an 0-2 pitch. a good rip at that pitch. still 0-2. lahair knows all the talk about anthony rizzo, the young player behind him. the young 22-year-old and lahair could creep on to the list of players moved by the cubs if somebody wants a left-handed batter with some power. >> tim: if you hit, you will play somewhere. >> joe: overall hitting .298 with those twelve home runs. there's the tieing run. nobody out. another 0-2. not close. change-up floated away.

>> tim: that's the eighth pitch of the inning and toe first ball thrown by aceves. >> joe: he can hit a wild streak. he hasn't done that much lately. sweating through it in the dugout is bobby valentine, saying if the red sox can get to within a game of .500. aceves ready with the 1-2 pitch.

2-2. those last two pitches, even though the previous pitch was so far outside, it's an 80, 81 mile-an-hour change-up and a 94-mile-per-hour fastball. on deck is the young catcher and rookie, wellington castillo. right now it's lahair and aceves. one out and a big strikeout for the boston right-hander! >> tim: aceves finishing off lahair with the tailing fastball away. a good pitch after those off-speed pitches set him up. >> joe: now castillo. wellington has been on base twice. the time he was retired, he

lined out. he lined out, singled and walked, all against lester, who is the pitcher of record for the red sox on the plus side. the breaking ball is in for a strike. stuff that aceves brings with him to the mound is the reason why he can be a starter if you need him to be a starter, a setup man or a closer. andrew bailey, the red sox traded for from oakland, hurt in spring training. it's aceves's job and that one misses down and away. a ball and a strike. castillo hit four home runs in the minor leagues this season at double-a, triple a. he's got one in the big league. waits for a 1-1. might end the ballgame. middlebrooks out at second, out at first, and the red sox win

it, 4-3! a 5-4-3 double play from middlebrooks to pedroia and on to first to adrian gonzalez. lester gets his fourth win of the year. samardzija suffers his fifth loss. in a three hour, six-minute game, aceves throws the double-play ball and he gets his 16th save of the season. for tim and ken, i'm joe. so long from chicago. you have been watching fox sports, home of the 2012 all-star game, nlcs and world series game. up next, it's the mlb studios right after this. it turned into a good game, didn't it? the red sox win it. good night from chicago!
