Atlanta 7, Boston 3 (10 inn.)

BOSTON, June 30 (UPI) -- Pinch-hitter Keith Lockhart sparked a four-run 10th inning with an RBI single Sunday as the Atlanta Braves completed a three-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox, 7-3.

After a passed ball moved Darren Bragg to second base, Lockhart collected his second game-winning pinch hit in six games with a one-out double down the right field line off Red Sox closer Ugueth Urbina (0-3) in the top of the 10th.
