Devers out with shoulder. Moreland with back.

Boom! Mookie with another leadoff dinger. Sox up 1-0 after 3 pitches.

[markj]

Beni just misses another dinger. Needed another 4 ft or so.

[markj]

Holt knocks in 2 with bases loaded. Sox up 3-0.

[markj]

Leon with an RBI single. Now 4-0. Some run support for Sale again.

[markj]

37 pitch inning for Hammel. He might not be around long in this game.

[markj]

JD with a 2-run dinger. Sox up 6-0.

[markj]

Xander with a 2-run dinger. Now 8-0. Hammel is getting hammered.

[markj]

Good thing the Sox got to pummel Hammel, because this guy Smith has shut them down.

[markj]

TOR with a 3-run lead over the Yanks in the 8th. Might turn out to be a very good night for the Sox.

[markj]

TOR up by 4 now. Top of the 9th.

[markj]

In comes Thornburg. Let's see what he can do finally.

[markj]

Yankees lose 6-2, so the BP better not screw this one up.
