Now that the Yankees have taken the series opener in Boston with a 20-11 win, the head-to-head match up this season is 8-5 in favor of the Red Sox. New York has narrowed the gap in that match-up and have opened up a 7 1/2 game lead for the American League East title.
There were tense moments as the Yankee relief pitchers Damaso Marte and Sergio Mitre gave up several runs to Boston in the last inning but the Bronx Bombers didn't let up the assault as they poured it on until the ninth inning. Nice win for starting pitcher Andy Pettitte who is now at 10-6 while Boston counterpart Brad Penny is at 7-8.
