6 Straight Wins for Red Sox
The New York Yankees had to reckon with Boston Red Sox hurler Juan Cervantes. Cervantes, who is on pace for 236 strikeouts this season, overwhelmed the opposition in the 9-1 Red Sox triumph. The Red Sox have now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Boston used a well-timed hit by Dan Combs to capture the win. The catcher socked a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Red Sox ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"When their pitchers are leaving stuff over the heart of the plate, we're not missing it," said Boston manager Alvin Morman.
