YANKEES 4
RED SOX 7



Sunday afternoon at the Stadium, the Yankees lost yet another game to the Red Sox, 7-4. The Yankees have lost eight of nine games and, once again, the pitching was no where to be found.


Wang, making his second start since being activated from the disabled list, allowed four runs and six hits in six innings, walking three and striking out two. As he met with reporters after the game, Wang had the tip of his right middle finger bandaged. He said that his early pitches up in the zone could be attributed to not following through, but that his fingernail — which cracked horizontally, a rarity — affected him somewhat on the mound, though he expected to make his next start.


Offensively, the Yankees 4 runs, all came on homers. First, a three-run homer by slumping Doug Mientkiewicz, who connected on his second round-tripper of the season to give the Yankees a lead in the third inning. And then later, in the 8th, Derek Jeter beleted a solo homerun, which would round out all the Yankee offense for the day.


The Red Sox have now defeated the Yankees five times in their first six meetings. “I don’t think the standings are an issue at this point,” Torre said. “We all know we’re going to start winning here sooner or later. Sooner is more appropriate.” The Yankees have now slipped to 6.5 game sback in the AL EAST at the end of April.


The Yankees will next take on the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium, starting on Tuesday. Phil Hughes (0-1) vs Kameron Lowe (1-1).
