THE BOSTON GLOBE (RED SOX DYNASTY REPORT)

BOSTON, MA - Two bitter rivals headed in different direction met at Fenway today. The New York Yankees, just a tad under .500, are really struggling to live up to their potential. They are currently last in the AL East, and Boston would love nothing more than keeping them there. Hiroki Kuroda would take the mound for New York.

John Farrell would give the struggling AJ Pierzynski a day off in favor of David Ross, and he would return the favor in the 2nd inning. With Will Middlebrooks on 1st Ross would hit a 2R-HR to start the scoring for a 2-0 lead. The Yankees would strike back in the 4th with an RBI single by Carlos Beltran, scoring Ellsbury from 2nd.

The game was mostly quiet, with Lester and Kuroda pitching well, until the 6th and 7th innings. The Yankees opened the 6th with a Derek Jeter 2R-HR over the Green Monster to take a 3-2, but Boston wasn't going to let that stand. The Red Sox ground out quite a rally, booting Kuroda from the game, with an Ortiz single, Napoli double, Middlebrooks sac-fly, Victorino RBI single, and finally a Sizemore sac-fly.

If a three run inning was bad, Lester's 7th was hell. Despite striking out 13, Lester walked 6 Yankees, most of them in the 7th. With the bases loaded he walked in the tying run, and allowed two more to close out the 7th. Up 7-5 the Yankees trotted out Dave Robertson to close out the 9th, and he struck out three straight to finish off Boston.
