BOSTON -- Manny Ramirez set the major-league record for postseason home runs with his 23rd career homer in the fifth inning Saturday night, breaking his tie at 22 with ex-Yankee center fielder Bernie Williams.

The home run tied the game at 5-5. Mike Lowell homered one batter later to give the Red Sox a 6-5 lead.

The crowd of Fenway Park, told of the record between the fifth and sixth inning, gave Ramirez a rousing standing ovation.
