| The Red Sox score 8 runs for the 2nd straight day, but this time instead of scoring 16 runs the Yankees score just 4 and the Red Sox tie up the ALCS at 2 games a piece. The Yankees took the early lead on a Robby Cano home run in the 2nd, but the Sox took the lead back in the top of the 3rd with 2 runs on 4 hits. The Yankees then hit Schilling for 3 runs in the bottom of the 3rd, with the big hit being a bases loaded double from Jorge Posada. The Sox got one right back in the top of the 4th when JD Drew went deep, but the 4-3 Yankee lead would hold until the 6th when the Sox struck for 3 runs on 3 hits, 2 walks and an HBP off a tired Mike Mussina. The Sox would hold the 6-4 lead and would actually add 2 more in the 9th when Mariano Rivera entered the game. Kevin Youkilis greeted him with a single, then David Ortiz went deep to make it 8-4. Manny doubled next and Rivera was out of the game. Rivera is having a very atypical postseason - in 6 appearances he has 2 saves, one loss, and has allowed 12 hits and 8 runs in 4 innings. He has allowed 3 hits in all 3 of his appearances in this ALCS. The teams will take a day off, then resume here at Yankee Stadium with Daisuke Matsuzaka looking for his first postseason start. It will be a rematch of game 1 starters as Chien-Ming Wang takes the hill for the home team. |
