David Ortiz would open up the scoring for the Red Sox with a double home run to make the score 2-0.

With a great pitcher duel going, there would be no further scoring, and the top notch game would enter extra innings. With the game lengthening, it would take until the 13th inning for a hero to emerge, and that hero was Detroit Tiger Ivan Rodriguez.
