PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Most batters hitting .122 would be worried. Alex Arias just figured it was a matter of time before his average started climbing.

Arias, who began the day only 6-for-49 this season, drove in the winning run with a pinch-hit double with one out in the 11th inning Friday night and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Boston Red Sox 2-1 to end a three-game losing streak.

"I've only had 49 at-bats. If I had 400 or 500, I'd really be concerned," Arias said.

In the 11th, Brian Hunter drew a one-out walk off reliever John Wasdin (0-2) and went to second when Desi Relaford was hit by a pitch.

Arias then hit a 3-2 pitch to deep left-center field. Last year, he was 12-for-22 as a pinch-hitter.

"My average isn't that high, but I feel good at the plate," Arias said. "I'm sure it's just a matter of time before I get going."

Said Phillies manager Terry Francona: "It's good to see Alex Arias get a big hit. He's a good hitter, and I know he'll get there."

Reliever Jeff Brantley (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for his first win since April 27, 1999.

Brantley has been hampered with shoulder problems, missing most of the 1999 season, and was on the disabled list this year until May 3.

Boston lost its third in a row. Carl Everett's 18th homer, his fourth in four games, tied it in the eighth.

"Brian Rose pitched very well and Everett's homer kept us in the game," said Red Sox manager Jimy Williams. "But we just couldn't get the hits when we needed them."

Williams was also concerned about the 10 runners that his team left on base.

"We had our chances, especially early in the game, but we left a lot of runners on," he said. "Other than that, we didn't get many sniffs of Person. He's got a real live arm."

The Red Sox got no help at the plate from its pitchers. Their pitchers are just 1-for-50 since interleague play began, the only hit being a bunt single by Vaughn Eshelman against the Mets June 15, 1997.

The game was delayed for 19 minutes with one out in the top of the first when a bank of lights went out.

Person shut out the Red Sox for seven innings and Wayne Gomes took over with a 1-0 lead. Gomes retired the first two batters in the eighth before Everett lined a 2-2 pitch just over the left-field fence.

After giving up consecutive singles to Troy O'Leary and Jason Varitek, Gomes got the final out of the inning when left fielder Ron Gant threw a perfect strike to cut down O'Leary at the plate after Wilton Veras singled.
