BOSTON (AP) - Pinch-hitter Mike Carp drove in the tying run with an eighth-inning double and then scored on a double by Dustin Pedroia as the Boston Red Sox rallied for a 7-4 victory over the Cleveland Indians. The Red Sox scored four times off reliever Vinnie Pestano (1-1), who took over with Cleveland leading 4-3 in the eighth. Pedro Ciriaco doubled and scored the tying run when Carp batted for Jonny Gomes and hit a high fly off the Green Monster in left field. Pedroia's double off The Wall with two outs gave Boston its first lead of the game, and the Red Sox added two more on Daniel Nava's bloop single with the bases loaded.

BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Marathon is over. It came to an end this morning. About 3,000 runners and bombing victims gathered in light rain to run the final mile of the world's oldest annual marathon, according to the spokeswoman for those organizing the event known as OneRun. Kathleen McGonable said OneRun honored victims and emergency workers and allowed runners to reclaim the final mile.

BOSTON (AP) - The Bruins have another chance to clinch a spot in the Eastern Conference finals tonight in Game 5 of their playoff series with the Rangers at Boston's TD Garden. Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask says he won't dwell too much on his comical mistake in Game 4 against the Rangers that helped New York get back into the series. Rask tripped in the crease, fell down and then whiffed on the puck, allowing the Rangers to cut a 2-0 lead to a one-goal deficit. New York would go on to win in overtime.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - The New England Revolution begins a 3-game homestand tonight when they host Toronto FC at Foxborugh. The Revs are coming off a 2-0 win at Houston last weekend. Diego Fagundez has scored three goals in New England's last five games.

UNCASVILLE, Conn. (AP) - The Connecticut Sun hosts New York tonight for its home opener. The Sun dropped Tuesday's season opening game 88-80 at Minnesota. All proceeds from tickets sold to tonight's game will go to the Red Cross for tornado relief efforts in Oklahoma.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) - A former Maine college basketball star has been found guilty of a child pornography charge. Dana Wilson pleaded no contest this week in a Bangor courtroom. The plea means while not admitting guilt, Wilson is not contesting the charges. The judge then found him guilty. Wilson averaged an NCAA Division III leading 35 points per game during his senior season at Husson College in 1973-74 and was inducted into the Maine Sports Hall of Fame in 2011.
