Gomes' HR lifts Red Sox to doubleheader sweep

BOSTON (AP) The Boston Red Sox had just enough energy left to celebrate Jonny Gomes' big swing.

Gomes hit a two-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the Red Sox to a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night, completing a doubleheader sweep.

Daniel Nava was aboard on a leadoff walk when Gomes followed with a towering shot off Joel Peralta (1-3) that cleared the Green Monster and bounced off the sign just to the right of the foul pole.
