It started out good up 6-0 going into the bottom of the fourth with A.J. Burnett throwing strikes. But the Red Sox were able to do something that the Yankees could not do, that was drive in runs with runners in scoring position. Jason Varitek hit a grand slam in the fourth to make it 6-5 and the Boston tacked on three more in the next inning to make it 8-6. Mike Lowell hit a three run homer just inside the left field foul pole. The Yankee bullpen could simply not get a big out when they needed to. The bullpen is toast right know and they need a huge game from Andy Pettite Sunday night. Robinson Cano had a good game hitting two homers and Johnny Damon homered for the Yankees.
In other Yankees news Phil Hughes will get the start Tuesday night in Detroit in place of Chien-Ming Wang who is currently on the disabled list. Brain Bruney is also on the 15 DL with an elbow soreness. Cody Ransom was put on the 60- day DL with a quad injury. Every team goes through injuries each season as the Yankees have seen a lot so far this season.
