Yankees swept by Boston

The Yankees went into Boston Friday thinking they were playing good baseball , they left Boston shaking their heads. The frustrations peaked Sunday night when Jacob Ellsbury straight out stole home in the the fifth inning. "There's no doubt its frustrating" Pettite said. The Yankees couldn't do anything right either holding leads or getting key hits. This is the second time someone has stole home on Pettite. The last time was back in was by Toronto May 29, 2007 where Aaron Hill did it. Pettite went into his windup and Jacoby took of with a running lead and just beat the throw.

Robinson Cano extended his hitting steak to 13 games, and Mark Melancon made his major league debut throwing two scoreless innings. The only bright spot was that Melancon was able to get out of bases loaded jam with no one out and did not allow a run.
