August 19, 2006 Yankees 14, Red Sox 7
| The Yankees score big early and score big late, with the Sox scoring in between as the Red Sox fall back to .500. The Yanks jumped out in front 5-0 after 2 innings off Josh Beckett. Now due to the very overworked bullpen lately, I was saying oh no not again! I was hoping to get at least 6 innings out of him, and thought for sure that wouldn't happen. But, Beckett retires 14 straight to enable Mike Lowell to singlehandedly get the Sox back in the game with a 3-run homer in the 3rd and a 2-run shot in the 5th to tie the game 5-all. Beckett ended up going to the 8th, but after allowing 2 leadoff hits had to come out. Only one man was in the pen who hadn't pitched in the doubleheader yesterday - new callup Jermaine Van Buren. He promptly allows 3 straight doubles as the Yanks score 9 runs over the final two innings off Van Buren, Timlin and Declarmen to make the game a runaway as the relievers choke again. 15 extra base hits for the Yankees in the game, with 13 doubles (4 players had 2 doubles each) and 2 homers. Thanks to Mike Lowell, with his 3 for 4, 2 homer 6 RBI day, this game wasn't as much of a disaster as it could have been. |

Jorge Posada went yard and had 4 RBI and Randy Johnson dominated striking out
11 Boston batters as the New York (AL) Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox 14
to 7 at Fenway Park.
Posada was a seemingly constant irritant to the hometown fans as he provided
much of the offense for the visitors. He bombed a two-run dinger (his 13th
of the season) in the 2nd inning, doubled knocking in a run in the 8th inning
and stroked a base-hit which scored a run in the 9th inning. For the game
New York (AL) out-hit Boston 18 to 6.
Johnson(10-11) picked up the victory, allowing 5 runs in 8 innings. Josh
Beckett(8-11) was the loser. Johnson was humble when questioned about his
performance, 'Well, I felt pretty confident in my pitches this afternoon.
But, I had great support behind me and I just threw what was called. That
was an extremely well called game!'
