Yankees 13, Red Sox 6
Yanks・First Win Against Boston Is a Big One
Hideki Matsui hit a sharp grounder to Casey Kotchman,
the first baseman, who fired to Nick Green at second base for a force.
Green made a strong throw to Traber covering first,
but Matsui beat the throw on his creaky knees.
That effort effectively led to four runs.
