BOSTON -- Cody Ross wasnt seeking revenge against the team that let him go. He just wanted a win and he gave it to the Arizona Diamondbacks with a decisive homer. The seventh-inning solo shot that just cleared the Green Monster capped his four-hit return to Fenway Park -- more hits than he had in any of his 130 games with Boston last year -- and lifted the Diamondbacks to a 7-6 victory over the Red Sox on Friday night. "Obviously, I want to come in here and perform and play well. Any time you play against one of your old teams you want to do that," Ross said, "but I have no hard feelings toward anybody in this organization." Ross, Bostons regular right fielder last season, drove in three runs, doubled twice and singled once. His big hit came with the score tied at 6 when he led off the seventh inning against Pedro Beato (1-1) with his seventh homer of the year. It barely made it over the left-field wall and the umpires upheld the call after a video replay. "I thought I hit it pretty good, better than I did," he said, "but, nonetheless, they all count." In his only season with the Red Sox, Ross hit .267 with 22 homers and 81 RBIs. But they let him leave as a free agent and signed Shane Victorino to take his spot in right. His focus was greater in his first game at his old stadium. "It feels like a playoff-type deal," said Ross, whose second-place team remained four games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West. "You dont want to give away any at-bat. Maybe I should do that every time I go to the plate. Id probably be a better player. But your concentration levels a little higher, a little more intense." He doubled in the first, then singled in a run in the third, cutting Bostons lead to 4-3. He hit another RBI double in the three-run fifth when Arizona went ahead 6-4. He finished his night by grounding out in the ninth. "He came back with a little bit of a chip on his shoulder. Ross is a good guy," Boston starter Jon Lester said, "but when he steps in that batters box, hes just another hitter that Ive got to get out. Obviously, I didnt do that." Brad Ziegler allowed singles to Stephen Drew and Jacoby Ellsbury in the ninth, but got his sixth save in six chances by retiring the last two batters as the Red Sox barely missed their third walkoff win in three days. But they kept their one-game lead in the AL East over Tampa Bay, which lost to San Francisco, 4-1. "We started to put it together," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "Things started to build, a little momentum, similar to the feeling that weve had the last couple of nights. But, unfortunately, it didnt happen here tonight." The Red Sox had tied the game at 6 in the sixth on Drews two-run homer, his eighth of the year, after a single by Mike Napoli. Randall Delgado (4-3) got the win despite his worst performance of the season. He gave up six runs in six innings, the first time in his nine starts this year that he allowed more than three. He entered the game with a shutout streak of 14 2-3 innings after tossing the first shutout and complete game of his career in his last start, a 10-0 win over San Diego. Lester also struggled after a solid stretch in which he posted a 2.29 ERA in his previous three starts. In his last start before Friday, he pitched seven innings in a 5-0 win at Baltimore. But against the Diamondbacks he allowed six runs and 11 hits in a season-low 4 1-3 innings. "If I knew why I was off, I would have made the adjustment a lot earlier," he said. Arizona finished with 16 hits. "Thats the way we should be swinging the bats," Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said. "Its been a while. We came out and swung with some aggression." Paul Goldschmidt gave Arizona a 2-0 lead with his 25th homer after a single by Aaron Hill. Boston tied it in the bottom of the inning when Ellsbury tripled and scored on David Ortizs 21st homer. The Red Sox made it 4-2 in the second when Daniel Nava reached on a throwing error by shortstop Didi Gregorius. Jarrod Saltalamacchia doubled him to third and Drew and Brock Holt hit sacrifice flies. Ross RBI single scored Martin Prado, who had doubled in the third. Then the Diamondbacks took a 6-4 lead with three runs in the sixth on RBI doubles by Prado and Ross and a run-scoring single by Jason Kubel. "I had this game circled on the calendar for a while," Ross said. "It was really nice to be back in Fenway."

Mayweather showed up with his daughter at ringside Saturday to watch Pacquiao, who invited him to the fight.Mayweather rarely attends fights not put on by his Mayweather Promotions, and his appearance immediately ignited speculation about a rematch between the two biggest stars of their time and two of the best in boxing history.Making the first fight dragged on for a tedious five years of will they or wont they. A second fight wouldnt take nearly as long to put together if Mayweather wants it, Arum said.Floyd came to the fight and he was very friendly with [Top Rank president] Todd [duBoef] and some of our staff, Arum told ESPN on Monday. Now, that doesnt mean that the fight will happen, but if it does, it wont take a long time to make because the animosity that was there before the first fight is gone. Theres no more animosity between the camps.Arum has since settled a $100 million antitrust lawsuit he filed against Al Haymon, Mayweathers adviser.It was so tense last time, but it wont be that way now because everyone can get along, said Arum, who promoted Mayweather for most of his career before they had a falling out that Haymon was in the middle of.Like everyone else, Im guessing there will be a rematch. He did come to the fight, Arum said. I give it 75 percent. Do I know its gonna happen? No. Do I know if Floyd wants the fight? No. I know nothing more than the public knows at this point and what I observed.Arum saw what everyone else saw, that as Pacquiao stood in his corner awaiting the opening bell on Saturday he looked right at Mayweather, pumped his fist and smiled. And he also saw Pacquiao, belt slung over his shoulder after the decision was announced, climb the ring post in the corner directly in front of Mayweather and smile at him, after which Mayweather gave him the thumbs-up.It doesnt mean the rematch will happen, though, but it means the tension is gone, Arum said.ddddddddddddThe bad words are not there. If the fight does happen it will be easier to make.Pacquiao said leading up to the fight with Vargas that he was unsure if he would continue to box. He had a rigorous schedule before the fight, balancing training camp with his Senate duties. But he looked sharp and won easily. Arum said he is making plans for a spring fight at Pacquiaos urging.There is no fight for which Pacquiao (59-6-2, 38 KOs), who turns 38 next month, can earn anything close to what a rematch with Mayweather would pay him. And if Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs), who turns 40 in February, elects to exit retirement and seek to improve his record to a perfect 50-0, Pacquiao looms by far as his most lucrative match. They are the only fighters in history to earn nine figures for a single nights work. Pacquiao made around $150 million and Mayweather around $250 million.Arum said he has to plan Pacquiaos next fight around his Senate schedule, as he did for Saturdays bout, which took place during a recess.After the fight in the ring, Manny told me that the Senate will be in recess for eight weeks between the middle of March and the middle of May, Arum said. I dont think for a Mayweather fight that Manny would want to train like he did for Vargas by training in the Philippines and coming over [to the United States] two weeks in front of the fight.Its not the worst-case scenario for him to maybe train for two weeks in the Philippines and then come here and do the last week six weeks during that recess. But hes definitely fighting in the spring, so I have to plan for dates.Manny volunteered the information to me about the schedule. It has to do with the schedule, regardless of whether he is fighting Mayweather or somebody else.While Arum does not know for sure if Mayweather will return, the promoter said Haymon told him recently that he probably would.Arum said he and Haymon spoke a few months ago when he was negotiating for Pacquiao to fight Adrien Broner, the former four-division titleholder and a Haymon client.Ultimately, Broner did not agree to the money and Vargas got the fight with Pacquiao instead, but Arum said during that conversation he asked Haymon if he thought Mayweather would come back and he told me he thought the chances were better than not that he would come back.If Mayweather does come back, there really is only one fight that makes sense -- and a lot of dollars -- to do it for.
