Yankees Sweep Red Sox

Has order been restored? After losing their first eight games against the Boston Red Sox this season, the New York Yankees completed a four-game sweep of their division rivals with a 5-2 victory Sunday night. Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira tied the game and then put the Yankees ahead with back-to-back home runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. When Red Sox catcher Victor Martinez homered in the eighth, he snapped a 31-inning scoreless streak for the Sox. The Yankees now lead the AL East by 6.5 games.
