SOX DOWN ON THE FARM

The Red Sox almost lost last night to its own Triple-A Farm Club, the Pawtucket Red Sox of the International League, but a three-run rally in the sixth earned the parent team a 4-2 victory. The Red Sox trailed 2-1 going into the sixth, but a lead-off homer by Cecil Cooper, followed by a base on balls, an error and three more walks put the American League team out in front to stay.
