| After a very exhausting four game 43 inning series in Tampa, the weary Sox come to the new Yankee stadium for the first time. They find it to their liking, specifically the outfield seats. Yankees starter Phil Hughes allows consecutiv singles to start the top of the 6th in a 1-1 game to Mike Lowell and Jason Varitek, so the Yankees went to their 10 wins in relief man Alfredo Aceves. Nick Green greets him to the game taking one deep for a 3-run homerun to give the Sox the lead, 4-1. But they aren't done yet. Kevin Youkilis goes deep in the 7th, and three straight solo homeruns in the 8th for Pedroia, Papi and Youk again spell the end for Mr. Aceves after five homeruns hit off him. Just for good measure, Jason Bay finds the seats in the 9th off of Jose Veras for six Sox homeruns for the day. Meanwhile, Jon Lester makes one mistake pitch to Johnny Damon for a homerun but otherwise is masterful with only 3 hits allowed and 9 whiffs as he goes the distance to give the bullpen a much deserved rest for his team leading fourth win of the season. |
