MLB: Boston 9, Oakland 8 (14 innings)

BOSTON, June 4 (UPI) -- J.D. Drew's single in the 14th inning drove in Carl Crawford with the winning run Saturday and the Boston Red Sox outlasted Oakland 9-8.

Crawford hit a out two-double into the left-field corner off Guillermo Moscoso (2-1) and Drew followed by smacking a solid hit up the right-center field gap, chasing home the winning run for the Bosox in their longest game of the season.

Crawford finished the day 4-for-7 with three RBI and Jacoby Ellsbury added four hits, tying the game with a run-scoring double in the bottom of the 11th after the A's had taken the lead in the top of the frame on Ryan Sweeney's sacrifice fly.

Alfredo Aceves (3-1) picked up the win with four innings of one-run relief, allowing three hits, walking two and striking out two as the Red Sox clinched their three-game series with the A's.

Oakland forced extra innings by erasing a four-run deficit in the ninth. The rally was capped by Conor Jackson's one-out, two-run single off Bosox closer Jonathan Papelbon.

Cliff Pennington and Josh Willingham drove in a pair of runs each for the A's, who dropped their fifth straight game.
