In a tight contest, Yankees beat Red Sox.

A crowd of 52,325 fans at Yankee Stadium went home happy last night, as they saw their Yankees pull out a close 8-6 win over the Red Sox.

Lance Berkman went 2-for-4, belted a home run, and drove in 2 runs to pace the offense.

Roy Oswalt worked 5 and a third innings, giving up 4 runs and 7 hits, but it was enough for him to earn the win.

Mariano Rivera notched his 10th save of the season -- extending his consecutive saves streak to 10 in the process.

Phil Hughes (1-0, 3.29) and Clay Buchholz (1-2, 4.23) are the scheduled starters for the series finale, as the Yankees look to sweep the visiting Red Sox out of New York tonight.

Mark Teixeira looks to build on his 16-game hitting streak.

The Yankees acquired Carl Crawford from the Rays for LF Randy Winn, RP Damaso Marte and RP Boone Logan.
