 BOSTON (AP) - Jason Varitek's ninth-inning homer allowed the Boston Red Sox to walk off as last-swing winners for the second straight day. His two-run shot down the right field line with one out against Octavio Dotel on Wednesday gave Boston a 6-5 victory over the Oakland Athletics, who had taken the lead on Eric Byrnes' two-run homer in the top of the inning.
Dotel (1-3) gave up Kevin Millar's two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth that gave the Red Sox a 3-2 win on Tuesday night. Both came with one out after Dotel had issued a walk.
Keith Foulke (2-3) got the win despite blowing the save by allowing four runs in the ninth.
