The Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees, 7-5. Boston pitcher and Maracaibo, Venezuela, native Juan Cervantes led the way. Tristan Robinson earned the save, his 7th in 13 tries. The Yankees have now dropped 10 straight.

Boston first baseman Patrick Vitzhum contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the third. With two down, he hit a cutter to right-center field for a 2-run single. It was his 73rd hit of the season and put the Red Sox ahead, 2-0.

"Juan set the tone with his ability to attack the hitters," said Boston manager Alvin Morman.
