Sox get Bronx broom treatment
By dropping three straight, AL East lead down to five games

NEW YORK -- Even at the age of 40, Red Sox right-hander Curt Schilling still
relishes the opportunity to play the role of stopper. A big-game pitcher
throughout his career, Schilling again stepped up on Thursday afternoon
against the Yankees. It just turns out that his fine effort wasn't quite
enough.
Two mistakes -- both of which were put over the wall for solo homers by
Robinson Cano -- were all it took for Schilling and the Red Sox to come up on
the short end of a 5-0 loss. This is because Chien-Ming Wang was even better
for the Yankees, holding the Red Sox hitless for six innings and allowing
just one hit for the entirety of his seven innings.
By getting swept in this three-game series in the Bronx, Boston's lead in the
American League East has been cut to five games by the Yankees. The teams
meet again at Fenway Park for a three-game series that starts on Sept. 14.
Whether it is the loss of star cleanup man Manny Ramirez (strained left
oblique) or simply running into hot Yankees pitchers, the Boston bats came up
dry throughout this series. After scoring 46 runs in four games at Chicago,
the Red Sox produced just six runs in New York.
Schilling held the Yankees to six hits and two runs over seven innings,
walking one and striking out four. Both of Cano's homers -- one in the third
and the other in the fifth -- were hit to left-center.
With Wang positively stifling the Red Sox, those long balls proved to be all
the difference.
The Red Sox snapped the right-hander's no-hit bid when Mike Lowell rifled a
single to right with one out in the seventh. Perhaps Wang's momentum was
altered when Kevin Youkilis opened the inning by reaching on a Derek Jeter
throwing error. J.D. Drew then tapped a grounder to third that wound up
sparking controversy. Alex Rodriguez missed the tag on Youkilis and then
narrowly threw Drew out at first.
Though Youkilis went out of the baseline, the umpires initially called him
safe. After an argument by Yankees manager Joe Torre, the call was
overturned. Red Sox manager Terry Francona was not pleased with the reversal
and was ejected by crew chief Derryl Cousins. Jason Varitek struck out to end
the first rally the Red Sox had all day.
