Late Red Sox Notes

OAKLAND -- Mike Timlin turned in his best outing in some time last night, pitching two perfect innings of relief, retiring all six hitters he faced -- two by stirkeout...Jacoby Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to five consecutive games with a 2-for-4 night with two RBI. But Ellsbury was thrown out trying to steal second in the seventh inning when he over-slid the second base bag and was tagged out by Oakland second baseman Mark Ellis. It was just the second time in his career that Ellsbury had been caught stealing, but also the second time in the last five days...Frank Thomas, who had two RBI, now has 1701 for his career, one shy of Reggie Jackson for 20th place all-time.
