The Yankees' bats finally came to life against Josh Beckett. Phil Hughes was looking fairly sharp, then suddenly a moth flies into one of his eyes and the Bombers again unravel against the Red Sox. Yep, a moth.
Jacoby Ellsbury hit a tie-breaking two-run homer in the sixth inning and Josh Beckett improved to 4-0 against the New York Yankees.
The Boston Red Sox increased their divisional lead Saturday to 1.5 games while the New York Yankees were rained out in Baltimore by Hurricane Irene.
The relief pitching that had been a strength for the Yankees this weekend failed them in the end. That's the way it's going this season against the Red Sox.
But some of the biggest names in baseball are All-Star no-shows, most notably Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who was well enough to go 5 for 5 and get his 3,000th hit with a dramatic home run on Saturday.
MLB's national spotlight returned this week to Arizona for the first time since Luis Gonzalez's ninth-inning single off Mariano Rivera won Game 7 of the 2001 World Series, landing the All-Stars — those who didn't drop out — in the hot debate over the law known as SB 1070.
Robinson Cano outslugged Adrian Gonzalez to win the All-Star Home Run Derby that turned into a Yankees-Red Sox showdown, even through his Boston rival made the biggest splash at Chase Field.
As Kate Smith's recorded rendition of "God Bless America" swirled around an empty stadium last night, you had to wonder what would swirl through the mind of a former owner. Not just any owner, of course, but "The Boss" George M. Steinbrenner III.
David Ortiz got more than even for getting drilled. Ortiz broke loose soon after CC Sabathia hit him with a pitch, starting and finishing a burst that led the Red Sox over the Yankees 8-3 early Friday. "Finally got hit," Ortiz said afterward in a short rant that included some profanity.
Two of CC Sabathia's three losses this year have come against the Red Sox. Josh Beckett beat him both times. That's a scary thought for the Yankees, who have lost seven of eight meetings with Boston this season — including all five at home.
David Ortiz wasn't at all concerned about New York throwing at him in retaliation for Tuesday's showy bat flip. "Why should I?" he said Wednesday. "I don't care about what Joe Girardi said. I come to play the game every day. That's about it. I'm done with that."
David Ortiz hit one of three Boston homers to back a tireless Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox extended their domination of the Yankees this season, beating New York 11-6 on Wednesday night to take over first place in the AL East.
How should the Yankees handle David Ortiz's theatrics? The genteel response is to assert the only way to stop such celebrations is to keep him from hitting home runs. Since that is impossible and, frankly, the meek man's way of handling Big Papi, I must side with the second solution. Drill him.
The Yankees understand the occasional loss is merely a part of baseball. Just don't show them up in Yankee Stadium.
Mark Teixeira held his knee and writhed in pain near home plate, thinking the worst after being hit by a pitch from Jon Lester. "I've never seen him show that much pain before," manager Joe Girardi said.
David Ortiz hit a two-run homer and Jonathan Papelbon labored through the ninth inning to earn his 200th save, leading the Boston Red Sox over the New York Yankees 6-4 Tuesday night.
It's a tale of two cities. The Yankees are floundering after a good start and their AL East rivals, the Red Sox, are finding that reaching .500 in May after an 0-6 start feels A-OK.
