BOSTON -- Jacoby Ellsbury walked to the plate thinking he had an advantage. One pitch later, he was running away from his celebrating teammates. Ellsbury hit a game-ending, two-run double on Joe Smiths first pitch, capping a four-run, ninth-inning rally that lifted the Boston Red Sox over the Cleveland Indians 6-5 Sunday. Cleveland led 5-2 entering the ninth, when Chris Perez (2-1) walked Dustin Pedroia leading off. David Ortiz doubled, and Mike Napoli and Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit consecutive RBI groundouts. Walks to Jonny Gomes and Jose Iglesias around Stephen Drews single loaded the bases. Perez fell behind Ellsbury 2-1 in the count and left with a shoulder injury. Ellsbury then doubled to left-centre, and was chased down by teammates who ran from the dugout to celebrate Bostons ninth win in 12 games. "His mindset, I would think, is to attack the hitter," Ellsbury said in the middle of Bostons clubhouse. "The last thing I think hes wants to do is walk me and bring in the tying run. I just wanted to be aggressive in the zone and get a pitch I could drive. Fortunately, I got it." Boston won three of four against Cleveland, managed by Terry Francona in his first series back at Fenway Park since leaving the Red Sox after the 2011 season. Francona led the Red Sox to World Series titles in 2004 and 2007. It was Bostons ninth win in 12 games. "When you think back to the ninth inning, they key at-bat to me was Iglesias walk," Boston manager John Farrell said. "He fouls off a tough two-strike pitch, takes a close 3-2 pitch to walk. Unfortunately for them, Perez goes out with an injury. We felt like when Smith came in, that arm slot fit Jakes (Jacobys) swing pretty well, and we saw the reason for it." Perez said hes been dealing with some arm pain. "I felt a little something in the shoulder today out there. Obviously not the best timing there. So, its something I have to deal with," he said. "On that last pitch to Ellsbury. It kind of pinched on me and sent a little pain down my arm. Then I tried to throw another pitch, and it just wasnt happening." Francona knew what a tough spot it was for Smith. "Its very difficult. Thats tough duty," he said. "With a 2-1 count youve got to throw a strike, and he did. To Ellsburys credit, he put the wood on it and put the barrel on it and now weve got to go regroup." Craig Breslow (2-0) allowed one run and two hits in two innings. Red Sox starter Felix Doubront gave up four runs -- two earned -- and five hits in six innings with eight strikeouts. Boston trailed 4-3 in the eighth inning of Saturdays 7-4 win. "It shows the desire of this team the last two days," Gomes said. Clevelands Corey Kluber gave up one run and three hits in 6 2-3 innings. Nick Swisher and Jason Kipnis hit solo homers for the Indians. Carlos Santanas two-run single hit a two-run single in the first after Ellsbury dropped Kipnis fly to centre for an error. Daniel Nava had an RBI single in the third after Stephen Drew snapped an 0-for-17 slide with a double. Kipnis homered off the Pesky Pole in right in the fifth, and Swisher homered in the Green Monster seats in left leading off the sixth. Swishers sacrifice fly made it 5-1 in the eighth, and Iglesias had a sacrifice fly in the bottom half.

After five months without playing senior footy, could Ryan Schoenmakers jump straight into an AFL finals campaign?Hawthorn coach Alastair Clarkson believes so and wont be afraid to throw his man into the middle if it comes to that.Schoenmakers, 25, was the feel-good story of last years finals campaign after winning his first premiership in eight seasons with the Hawks.He was injured in 2013, not selected in 2014 but pivotal in 2015 to the clubs third-straight flag - gathering 21 touches and kicking a goal on grand final day against West Coast, Hawthorns opponents once more on Friday night.Now, without playing an AFL match since round three, Schoenmakers is poised to make a return for Alastair Clarksons side after a recovery from a groin injury.The tall swingman will play in the reserves this weekend for Box Hill and Clarkson said everyone at the club was hopeful he could force his way into the senior side again.We were thinking at some time six weeks ago his season might be gone, he said on Friday.Were hoping he can become a player we can select through the finals or even nexxt week (in round 23).ddddddddddddHes had a lot of time out of the game and its a real bonus.Clarkson said Schoenmakers still had some boxes to tick on Saturday when he is expected to turn out for Box Hill against Collingwood.But in a season when the Hawks have missed the bigger bodies of both Schoenmakers and forward Jarryd Roughhead, his return would be most welcome.Weve missed the bulk and the size of those guys ... thats centre half-forward and centre half-back of our premiership side last year, he said.Weve had to play young fellas in those roles and theyve been inconsistent from time to time but theyve also really pleased us with some of their progress.Its a big ask to replace Jarryd Roughead. Hes probably in the best five or six players in the competition and one of the best two or three key forwards in the game.Weve been okay in that area but Schoenmakers being available at some point in time over the next four weeks would help us for sure.
