After bashing Boston pitching around Fenway Park for the first three games, the Yankees handed the Red Sox the most brutal of the four losses, taking an 8-5 victory in 10 innings. New York came back to tie the game in the ninth against Jonathan Papelbon, then scored three times against Craig Hansen in the 10th on home runs by Jason Giambi -- his second of the game -- and Jorge Posada. Mariano Rivera, who escaped a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the ninth with the score tied, closed out the win with a scoreless 10th to earn the victory. The game, which included a 57-minute rain delay after the second inning, lasted 4:17. The Yankees increased their lead over the Red Sox to 5 1/2 games in the American League East with their fourth straight win over their rivals. The two teams close out their five-game series on Monday as Cory Lidle takes on David Wells. Boston took a quick lead in the first on Manny Ramirez's RBI double, his 21st RBI of the season against the Yankees. Kevin Youkilis followed with an RBI single, giving the Sox a 2-0 lead. Curt Schilling cruised through the first three innings, but in the fourth, Derek Jeter and Bobby Abreu led off with back-to-back singles, setting up Giambi's three-run homer, his 35th. The Yankees lost the lead right away as Mike Mussina allowed a run on three singles in the fourth, tying the game at 3. After the fourth, he was escorted to the clubhouse by assistant trainer Steve Donohue with what was later announced by the club as tightness in his right groin. The scenario was identical to his outing on June 30 against the Mets, a game in which he threw four hitless innings before a 63-minute rain delay -- and a slight groin injury -- kept him from going out for the fifth. Mussina's four innings were far from hitless on Sunday, as he was charged with three runs on seven hits before departing. Ron Villone replaced Mussina, but after getting the first two outs in the fifth, he served up a 2-1 pitch to David Ortiz which the designated hitter crushed over Boston's bullpen in right-center. Big Papi's 43rd homer put Boston ahead, 4-3, and Schilling took care of the rest. Schilling retired nine of the next 10 batters, mowing through the Yankees' lineup from the fifth through the seventh. He left the game after 109 pitches, turning a 5-3 lead over to Mike Timlin. Johnny Damon singled and Timlin hit Jeter, putting the tying runs on base. Lefty Javier Lopez came in for Abreu, walking him to load the bases. That brought Papelbon out from the bullpen to get the final six outs. Giambi lifted a sacrifice fly to right, narrowly missing the grand slam. Damon scored and Jeter moved to third, putting the tying run 90 feet from home plate. Alex Rodriguez walked to load the bases again, but Papelbon struck out Robinson Cano and Posada, stranding all three runners to preserve the lead. Down to their final three outs, the Yankees went back to work against Papelbon in the ninth. Melky Cabrera led off with a double to right-center, putting the tying run in scoring position. Papelbon unleashed a wild pitch, advancing Cabrera to third with no outs. The closer struck out both Bernie Williams and Damon, but Jeter fisted a single to shallow right field, scoring Cabrera to tie the game. It was the sixth blown save of the season for Papelbon, his third in August. Ortiz opened the bottom of the ninth with a double to right, a hit which was generously scored after Giambi couldn't make a play on the hard-hit chopper. Rivera intentionally walked Ramirez, and after foiling a sacrifice bunt attempt for the first out, a passed ball moved the runners to second and third. Rivera intentionally walked Mike Lowell to load the bases with one out, but he struck out pinch-hitter Eric Hinske and got Doug Mirabelli to ground out back to the mound, moving the tie game to the 10th. Giambi drilled a line drive to right-center, where the ball barely cleared the wall for his second homer of the night. One out later, Cano doubled, setting up Posada's two-run insurance shot. Rivera finished the game with a scoreless 10th. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 203.70.108.246
