Jim Rice led off the 10th inning with his second homer of the game to beat the A's, 7-6, and extend the winning streak of the Red Sox to six games. Rice's first homer of the game sparked a four-run rally by the Red Sox in the ninth inning. Dwight Evans drove in another run with a sacrifice fly and Glenn Hoffman tied the score at 6-6 with a two-run triple. [The Sporting News]
