| The Red Sox roll into Yankee Stadium and beat up the Yankees by a final of 11-1. The win puts the 2nd place Yankees 30 games back of the Red Sox and also reduces the Sox magic number to 1. So if the Red Sox lose their final 30 games and the Yankees win theirs, the Yankees can at least tie for the division! This is the first game of a 4 game series, so the Sox have 3 more chances to clinch the division in August and in Yankee Stadium, both exciting accomplishments. The offense was spread around in this game, with all 9 starters getting a hit, 4 getting 2 hits, and 5 knocking in 2 runs. Mike Lowell went 1 for 2 with a home run, 2 RBI, and 3 runs scored, and his .323 batting average is now good for 7th in the AL. Daisuke Matsuzaka goes 7 strong innings for his 13th win. |

The New York (AL) Yankees endured an embarrassing pasting as a potent Boston
Red Sox lineup tallied 11 runs while Daisuke Matsuzaka(13-8)with bullpen
support held New York (AL) to 1 run.
Matsuzaka earned his pay with a solid performance for Boston. He was reached
for 5 hits and 3 walks in 7 innings. Boston had 13 hits for the game and New
York (AL) had 5.
Andy Pettitte(11-10) was the loser. This win by Boston continues their recent
hot streak. In their last ten games, they have a record of 8-2. For the
season, they are a division leading 99-33. With the loss, the New York (AL)
ballclub's record is 69-63.
