The Italian, chasing a British Open place as well as his first title in four years, was joined by Scottish pair Alastair Forsyth and Craig Lee and South African Justin Walters. A 2010 Ryder Cup winner, Molinari opened with three straight birdies at Royal Johannesburg and Kensington and collected eight in all on the par-71 West Course. "The front nine was probably as good as Ive played in a long time," he said. Lee had maybe the most impressive start with his 7-under 65 on the tougher par-72 East Course, with eight birdies and just one bogey on No. 17. "Its really hard to figure out where you are in the field with two golf courses, and with the East being slightly tougher I feel like Im in a good position," Lee said. Forsyth and Walters both carded 64s on the West, with Forsyth not dropping a shot all day. They led by one shot. Players play one round on the East and West courses before finishing on the East over the weekend. The tournament is also a qualifying event for the British Open in July and offers places to the three highest-placed finishers in the top 10 not already exempt. None of the top 10 on Thursday have qualified for the Open. Johannesburg defending champion Richard Sterne opened with a 5-under 67 on the East, but couldnt fully capitalize on an eagle three on his first hole, as he sat in a tie for 13th. Sterne has qualified for the British Open, as has former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, who managed a 69 on the East. Molinari has battled through fitness problems since his 2010 Ryder Cup debut and hasnt won since that year, but looked solid with five birdies and a single dropped shot on his opening nine. He made another three birdies coming in. Chasing the leading pack are eight players on 6 under, including South Africas Hennie Otto, who tied for second in the season-opening South African Open in November. South Koreas Jin Jeong, who won his maiden tour title at the Perth International last year, is also in contention after a 65. The Joburg Open is the sixth tournament out of 10 on the early European Tour schedule to be played in South Africa. There will be a seventh next weekend with the Africa Open. Ken Griffey Mariners Jersey .53 ERA in those games.

Drew, known as one of the quieter, more reserved players in the Red Sox clubhouse, felt like he was going to make contact. He rarely gets too excited and it even showed as he got dressed quickly after his game-winning hit. "I had some good swings in all the earlier at-bats," Drew said. "Sure its aggravating, you never want to strike out four times in a game. Even though I struck out four times, I thought I had some quality swings." Boston recovered for its 18th win in 26 games after Papelbon blew the big lead and was ejected along with catcher Jason Varitek a few minutes apart in the ninth. "I just lost my cool," Varitek said. "You cant argue balls and strikes." Crawford had four hits and drove in three runs and Adrian Gonzalez had a solo homer and three hits for the Red Sox.

Conor Jackson had a tying, pinch-hit two-run single in the ninth and a key double in the 11th as Oakland grabbed the lead, but Andrew Bailey couldnt hold it. The Athletics lost their fifth straight. "Obviously just didnt do my job today and let the team down," said Bailey, who made just his third appearance after missing the start of the season with a strained right forearm. Alfredo Aceves (3-1) pitched four innings for the win. He gave up a run in the 11th before Boston rallied in the bottom of the inning.

After Jed Lowrie was intentionally walked, Drew lined a single to right-centre to end the five-hour 17-minute game. Landon Powell, who struck out four times and went 1 for 7, grounded out with runners on first and second to end the top of the 14th. After that, the crowd -- that was left -- cheered when Take Me Out To The Ball Game was played for a second time. Oakland had taken an 8-7 lead in the 11th inning on Ryan Sweeneys sacrifice fly against Aceves. Boston tied it with two outs in the bottom half. Jarrod Saltalamacchia doubled high off the left-field wall against Bailey and scored on Jacoby Ellsburys double down the right-field line.

Both Varitek and Papelbon were both ejected by home plate umpire Tony Randazzo in the inning. "It was a great, great comeback to tie the game in the ninth, then to actually go ahead in extra innings," As manager Bob Geren said. "We had the game. We were in pretty good shape." Mark Ellis singled leading off and Daric Barton walked. After Powell struck out, Pedroia had pinch-hitter Coco Crisps grounder go through his legs, scoring a run. Penningtons RBI double made it 7-5 and Varitek was ejected while arguing during the hit. "If I fielded that ball we would have won about four hours ago," Pedroia said. "But we battled. We had a lot of key hits. I dont think one play won or lost the game. It was one play in like a nine-hour game." Jackson then tied it with his two-run single. Papelbon was ejected after throwing the first pitch to the next hitter, Sweeney, and had to be restrained by manager Terry Francona. He appeared to bump Randazzo before being shoved out of the way by Francona. Bobby Jenks got out of the inning when he struck out Hideki Matsui with runners on first and third with a pitch in the dirt that bounced away. The late blowup spoiled another solid start by Josh Beckett. Beckett gave up three runs, four hits, walked three and fanned four over six-plus innings.
