 BOSTON (AP) - Miguel Tejada hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning — his fourth hit of the game — as the Baltimore Orioles rallied from a five-run deficit Tuesday night to beat the Boston Red Sox 11-8.
Javier Lopez also hit a two-run homer in the eighth off to hand Red Sox closer Keith Foulke (1-3) his first blown save this season. Melvin Mora and Rafael Palmiero each had three hits of Baltimore's 20 hits.
Baltimore has won five straight and is seven games over .500 for the first time since 1998. The Orioles had not been in first place in the AL East this late in the season since 1997.
