Red Sox Overwhelm Yankees, 17-5
Dan Combs powered the Boston Red Sox to a win over the New York Yankees. The final score was 17-5. The Boston catcher, who is tied for 9th in the AL in extra base hits with 48, was a force to be reckoned with. He banged out 2 extra-base hits, including 1 home run and 1 double. The first-place Red Sox have won 5 consecutive games.

Combs had a big at-bat with the bases loaded in the top of the fifth inning, when he hit a grand slam home run. The Red Sox went on to win.

"We lit up the scoreboard," said Boston manager Alvin Morman.
