CLEVELAND -- David Ortiz bid farewell to Progressive Field with a game-changing home run Monday.Ortiz hit a go-ahead, two-run drive in a three-run sixth inning, and the Boston Red Sox defeated the Cleveland Indians 3-2 to extend their winning streak to four.Ortizs 27th home run this season, the 530th of his big league career, overcame a 1-0 deficit. Ortiz homered in all three games the Red Sox played in Cleveland in his final season.I always love hitting in this park, he said. Who doesnt? Its a really good hitting ballpark.Ortizs drive came off Josh Tomlin (11-6), who has given up a major league-leading 29 home runs this season.Asked whether he was glad Ortiz was retiring, Tomlin said, I am now, yeah. Hes an unbelievable hitter and he made me pay.The game was a makeup of an April 7 postponement caused by snow and cold. Ortiz also homered on April 5 and 6.Boston is starting an 11-game trip to four cities. Manager John Farrell never considered resting his 40-year-old slugger.He doesnt cease to amaze, Farrell said. By no means was there any plan for him not to be in todays lineup.Jackie Bradley Jr. also homered off Tomlin in the sixth.Drew Pomeranz (1-2) allowed two runs and five hits in 7 2/3 innings to win for the first time since he was acquired from San Diego on July 14. He had been 0-2 in five starts for the Red Sox.Selected by Cleveland with the fifth overall pick in the 2011 amateur draft, Pomeranz gave up Rajai Davis leadoff homer in the fourth and RBI double in the eighth.Francisco Lindor doubled against Craig Kimbrel leading off the ninth and Mike Napoli walked. Carlos Santana and pinch-hitter Jason Kipnis struck out, and Abraham Almonte hit a drive to right that hooked foul before he popped out. Kimbrel got his 20th save in 22 chances.Tomlin lost his third straight outing and for the fifth time in seven decisions after a 9-1 start, allowing three runs and seven hits in 7 2/3 innings. AL Central-leading Cleveland had won its previous four games.This was a good win, Farrell said. They pushed us, obviously, but Kimbrel was able to get the last one.Boston trails AL East-leading Toronto by 1 1/2 games in the AL East and leads for the leagues second wild card.Every win matters, Ortiz said.PAPI FAREWELLOrtiz was given a loud ovation during each at-bat. He lined out in the first, bounced into a double play in the fourth and singled in the eighth. Ortiz took off on a 3-1 count to Betts and would have had a clean steal of second, but the pitch was ball four.Before the game, Cleveland presented a check for $10,000 in Ortizs name to a local recreation center.TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox: RHP Steven Wright (strained right shoulder) was placed on the 15-day disabled list.Indians: RHP Danny Salazar (sore right shoulder) is scheduled to start Thursday against the White Sox.

Miller finished in two minutes, 6.09 seconds, one day before the first medal race on the Alpine schedule. The 36-year-old American also turned in the top time in Thursdays opening training session.Joe Joyce believes he did enough to win boxing gold after losing his super-heavyweight final to Tony Yoka at Riocentro.The 30-year-old fell short in his bid to become Great Britains 28th and final gold medallist of the Rio Olympics, with the?ringside judges favouring the Frenchman by split decision.The judges verdict was greeted by a number of boos from the crowd.?I thought that gold was mine, Joyce told the BBC afterwards. So Ill just have to watch it back and see where I went wrong, if I went wrong.Yokas greater accuracy found the favour of the judges, leaving Joyce with little hope in the last round but to press for an unlikely knockout.Joyce had been seeking to emulate his former team-mate Anthony Joshua, the London 2012 champion who was watching at ringside.Lee [Team GB coach Lee Pullen] let me know in my corner I was down. I thought, Oh my god, added Joyce. I was landing shots on him all that last round, peppering him with shots, going through his guard. Just the odd shot from him. He nicked it.I gave it my all. I got the training right leading up. Im just disappointed. A silver medal isnt that bad, but I wanted the gold. I expected the gold. It just wasnt to be.Joshua, working in a punditry role for the BBC in Rio, also felt Joyce did enough to take the gold medal.Ive never seen a lightweight, let alone a heavyweight, throw so many punches in a fight before, he?said.Joe was aggressive, making the fight. The power he possesses, theres no way you can block those shots.dddddddddddd. It was gloves penetrating body. For me, hes Olympic champion. Everyone here was cheering him on. In spirit hes Olympic champion.?Im proud of what hes achieved. Hes a credit to the sport in and out of the ring.Joyces style had been derided by Yoka in the build-up to the final, with the Frenchman describing him as a robot and questioning his punching power.The pair had unfinished business after a controversial World Championship semifinal in Doha last year, when Yoka was given the verdict and went on to win the title.Joyce was the aggressor in the opener, landing first with a nice right hand, and pushing forward looking to squeeze shots through his opponents tight guard.The heavier shots continued to come in from the Briton, but Yoka enjoyed persistent success behind his left jab, which was enough to shade it on two of the three judges cards.Joyce continued his relentless push forward in the second, with Yoka a little looser and relying more on snaking counter-shots, again catching the judges eyes.It effectively meant Joyce needed a knockout to win the last, and despite his best efforts Yoka survived to take the victory on two of the three judges cards.Information from the Press Association was used in this report.
