Red Sox Ride Yankees, 6 to 5

NY YANKEES: 0 1 0 1 1 0 2 0 0 - 5 11 0

BOSTON: 1 2 1 2 0 0 0 0 x - 6 9 0

And the streak goes on! Yes, despite a couple of unexpected homeruns by the New York Yankees off reliever Ramon Ramirez, the Boston Red Sox hang on to make it seven straight wins against the Yankees in 2009. Tomorrow, Boston has the opportunity to have another sweep at Fenway Park and to continue their dominance over New York. This series has certainly showed the depth and quality of Boston's pitching staff compared to New York's. And it will only become better for the Red Sox. First place - all alone.
