YANKEES 4
REDSOX 3



Sunday Night in Boston, marked the final time that the Yankees and Red Sox would play each other in the 2007 Regular Season. The game lived up to its billing, having both starting pitchers pitch gems, a clutch 3 run homerun by Derek Jeter, and a Rivera vs Ortiz with bases loaded to end the game.



Roger Clemens vs Curt Schilling lived up to it’s hype. Clemens pitched a gem, holding Boston to just one unearned run and two hits over six innings.
Boston got its only run off Clemens in the first inning, when Johnny Damon misplayed an Ellsbury fly ball for an error, and after a one-out walk to Ortiz, Mike Lowell came through with a run-scoring single. Joba Chamberlain pitched well, but gave up a solo homerun to Mike Lowell to cut the lead to 4-2. Mariano Rivera made it very interesting in the 9th… when the Sox cut the lead to 4-3, and loaded the bases with 2 outs for David Ortiz. Rivera got the slugger to pop up to Derek Jeter, to end a great game, and a huge win for the Yankees.



Offensively, the Yankees had trouble against Curt Schilling. Robinson Cano hit a homerun in the 5th inning, to tie the game at 1-1. The big blow came in the 8th inning, with Schilling still on the mound, and 2 outs, Derek Jeter hit a BOMB over the green monster, to give the Yankees a 4-1 lead.


The Yankees took two out of three games in the weekend series and move within to 4 1/2 games in the AL East with 13 games to play. More importantly, they keep their slim Wild Card lead over the Detroit Tigers.
The Yankees will start a series with Baltimore, at Yankee stadium on Monday night. Phil Hughes will face Daniel Cabrera. EVERY game from this point on, is a HUGE game!!
