Red Sox continue mastery of Yankees
BOSTON - Mike Lowell homered off struggling Yankees starter Chien-Ming Wang, and Kevin Youkilis also connected to help the Boston Red Sox win, 6-5, last night and improve to 7-0 against New York this year.
The Red Sox have beaten the Yankees eight straight times dating to the last game of last season - their longest winning streak against their longtime rivals since 1912.
Tim Wakefield (8-3) beat the Yankees for the second straight time after losing to them in nine of his previous 10 decisions. Jonathan Papelbon pitched the ninth for his 15th save.
Mark Teixeira went 4 for 5 for New York, including his AL-leading 19th homer. Wang (0-4) lasted just 22/3 innings - the second straight Yankees starter to get just eight outs.
Wang was restored to the rotation after two scoreless relief appearances, but his troubles soon returned. He gave up five runs over 42/3 innings in a no-decision against Texas last Thursday, and gave up four runs and six hits against Boston; his ERA dropped from 14.46 to 14.34.
Wakefield allowed eight hits in six innings and improved to 5-0 at Fenway Park in five starts this year.
The Red Sox are 7-0 against the Yankees to start the season for the first time since 1912, when the New York franchise was known as the Highlanders. Boston, led in that era by Smoky Joe Wood and Hall of Famer Tris Speaker, won the first 14 matchups that year for a 17-game winning streak, when combined with the last three of the 1911 season.
