Yankees get to ace closer Jonathan Papelbon, beat Red Sox with a late rally.

The Yankees and Red Sox needed extra innings to decide an AL East showdown, with New York eventually winning 6-2 in 10 innings at Fenway Park. The club was helped big time by Nick Johnson, who had 2 RBI and whose lone hit was a home run.

Mariano Rivera ended up being the victor, eschewing his usual "S" for a "W," his 1st of the season. Mariano Rivera, discussing his team's performance, said,"We always like to come back and win, and we were able to do just that against their bullpen."

The Yankees wrap up the series behind their best pitcher, C.C. Sabathia (4-1, 3.43), who will be opposed by Jon Lester (3-2, 7.12) when the series concludes this afternoon at Fenway Park.

The Yankees acquired 1B Lance Berkman from the Astros for 1B Nick Johnson, RF Edwar Gonzalez and SP Kei Igawa.
