Slugger takes Papelbon deep in ninth as Yanks win series By Bryan Hoch / MLB.com BOSTON -- The Fenway Park faithful had their fun with Alex Rodriguez all weekend, taunting him incessantly for each at-bat and infield popup. The fun lasted exactly 26 2/3 innings. Rodriguez belted a two-out solo home run in the top of the ninth inning Sunday off Boston closer Jonathan Papelbon, lifting the Yankees to a 6-5 victory and quieting a crowd of 36,793 as Mariano Rivera came on to record the save and secure a series victory for New York. The contest was tempered some for the Yankees by an early exit from starter Andy Pettitte, who drew medical attention on the mound in a five-run fifth inning that chased the left-hander. Pettitte, who appeared to yell in pain late in the frame, surrendered three consecutive singles to Jason Varitek, Wily Mo Pena and Coco Crisp before finally getting the first out of the inning. Hot-hitting Dustin Pedroia followed with a three-run double to left center, clearing the bases. David Ortiz ripped a single to right that Bobby Abreu let squirt by him for a two-base error, tying the game and prompting manager Joe Torre to lift Pettitte after 4 1/3 innings in favor of reliever Luis Vizcaino. Kevin Youkilis greeted the right-hander with a deep sacrifice fly to center to give the Red Sox the lead. The Yankees had little trouble hitting undefeated Boston starter Josh Beckett early, but their struggles intensified as Beckett did. Josh Phelps dribbled a run-scoring single to center in the second inning to open scoring and the Yankees put up three more in the fifth, with A-Rod and Jorge Posada drilling RBI singles. A third run scored when Jeter came in on a Mike Lowell error. Beckett exited after 6 1/3 innings and 117 pitches in position for the win, but New York tied the game in the eighth against left-hander Hideki Okajima, making his seventh appearance this season against the Yankees. Hideki Matsui opened the inning with a single to right and Robinson Cano followed with a triple to deep center field. Abreu came up with a game-saving catch in the bottom of the ninth inning, flagging down a Pedroia drive into the right-center field gap with a stumbling , fully-outstretched grab. -- ◢█◣◢█◣ ██◣◢██ ▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄ █████ ▌ ▌ ▌▄▄▄▄ █◢◤ █▅▅ █◢◤ █▅▅ 〒UmU █████ ▄▄▄▄ ██ █▅▅ ██ █▅▅ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▄▄▄▄ ▄▄▄▄ █◥◣ █ █◥◣ █ ██◤◥█▌●　２００６　ＦＩＦＡ　ＷＯＲＬＤ　ＣＵＰ〒UmU ● -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 220.134.114.212
