THE BOSTON GLOBE (RED SOX DYNASTY REPORT)

BOSTON, MA - The Red Sox, sputtering recently, play host to a very hot and hated rival today. The New York Yankees, 10-5 since their last meeting, come in to Fenway looking to knock the Red Sox below .500 for the first time since Opening Day. The Yankees' hitting has caught on, so the Red Sox arms would need to be sharp.

Newly acquired Colby Lewis would take the mound for New York, and he would get a rude Fenway welcome to start the game. Jackie Bradley Jr. opened the 1st with a double, and two hitters later Mike Napoli hit a high double off the Green Monster to drive Bradley Jr. in for a 1-0 lead. Shane Victorino would make it 2-0 with a single that became an RBI triple when Carlos Beltran missed the ball.

Cans of corn can be hard to open sometimes...

Mike Napoli made it 3-0 with a solo-HR in the 4th and Boston was cruising toward a win, but the Yankees weren't beaten just yet. With Beltran and Ellsbury on base in the 7th DJ Peterson hit a high double off the Green Monster to score both of them and make it 3-2. Paul Konerko pulled one back with a HR off Pesky's Pole to make it 4-2, but that didn't keep New York from coming back for more.

Boston kept it 4-2 up to the 9th and brought in Koji Uehara to shut the door on the Yankees. Uehara, already being labeled as a mistake re-signing, gave doubters a reason to call for him to be removed from the closer role. Uehara put two men on and DJ Peterson, who already drove in two, made it five with a 3R-HR off Pesky's to give the Yankees a 5-4 lead. David Robertson came in and showed Uehara how to do things, closing out the game with two strikeouts and collecting his 10th save.
