BALTIMORE — Daisuke Matsuzaka gave up three runs over 5-1/3 innings, and the Red Sox offense pounded out 14 hits, including home runs by Jason Bay and Jacoby Ellsbury, and claimed a 9-3 win over the Orioles on Sunday afternoon at Camden Yards. The top three hitters in the Boston lineup — Ellsbury, Dustin Pedroia and Victor Martinez — went a combined 7-for-13 with two walks, scoring four runs and knocking in four. Matsuzaka, who won his second start in as many chances since coming off the 15-day disabled list, allowed eight hits, striking out five and walking one while throwing 110 pitches. The Sox have now won 11 of their last 13 games, and 19 of their last 21 against the Orioles.
Mark Sanchez threw a 9-yard pass to Dustin Keller in the third quarter for the game's only touchdown, and the Jets beat the Patriots, 16-9, at the Meadowlands, New York's first home win in the series since Sept. 11, 2000. The Jets applied constant pressure to Tom Brady all afternoon and held the Patriots without a touchdown for the first time since a 21-0 loss at Miami on Dec. 10, 2006, which was also Brady's last regular-season loss before Sunday. Brady was 23-of-47 for 216 yards and an interception. The Patriots committed 11 penalties and were held to three Steve Gostkowski field goals.

The Patriots inactives for this afternoon are offensive lineman Rich Ohrnberger, tight end Michael Matthews, offensive lineman Kendall Simmons and wide receiver Wes Welker. They join the four other players who have already been listed as out -- linebacker Jerod Mayo, wide receiver Matthew Slater, cornerback Terrence Wheatley and offensive lineman Dan Connolly.
BALTIMORE -- David Ortiz will receive a day off in the Red Sox' final game of 2009 against the Orioles. The Sox are now 15-2 against the Orioles this year, a one-sided dominance that has played a major role in the team's current position atop the Wild Card standings. With Ortiz out, Mike Lowell will serve as the designated hitter. Jason Bay, a late scratch from Saturday's game due to flu-like symptoms, is back in the lineup for the series finale on Sunday.
