BOSTON -- Too many times for the Yankees, the nine innings on the field had
been their recurring prison; a consistent reminder of how, regardless of
effort, events weren't proceeding up to par.
On Friday, they happened upon the image they'd projected for their season
all along, playing solid ball and pounding out a 9-5 victory over the Red Sox
at Fenway Park.
The Yankees piled on veteran right-hander Tim Wakefield, who never found
command of his trademark knuckleball, for eight runs in 3 2/3 innings in
securing the game early.
Robinson Cano slugged a two-run homer off Wakefield and Johnny Damon worked
a bases-loaded walk to open scoring in the second inning, and the Yankees
added six more runs in the fourth with the benefit of two passed balls and a
wild pitch. The big hit in the 10-batter frame was Jorge Posada's three-run
double to left-center off reliever Kyle Snyder.
One start after showcasing a varied repertoire to best the Red Sox,
Chien-Ming Wang continued to tread carefully against Boston's lineup. The
right-hander threw 75 pitches through the first three innings, touched for
runs by David Ortiz's single and Julio Lugo's groundout in the second inning,
plus Dustin Pedroia's double to left in the third.
Given the large advantage, Wang settled in and worked into the sixth before
handing duties off to reliever Mike Myers, who struck out Ortiz, the only
batter he faced. Wang scattered 10 hits and walked two, striking out one in a
113-pitch outing. Relievers Brian Bruney and Kyle Farnsworth held the
AL East-leading Red Sox at bay, before Scott Proctor was ejected in the ninth
inning by home-plate umpire Kevin O'Nora for hitting Kevin Youkilis in the
left shoulder with a pitch.
Both benches and bullpens briefly emptied as Youkilis was held back by
Posada on his way to first base. Ron Villone and Mariano Rivera came on in
relief to complete the ninth inning.
Yankees manager Joe Torre was ejected in the sixth inning by umpire Jerry Crawford for arguing a play in which Bobby Abreu was called out on a stolen-base attempt at third base. The start of the game was delayed for 23 minutes by rain.
