July 27, 2008 Red Sox 5, Yankees 3

The Sox do all their damage in the 3rd inning, getting all 5 runs via a Dustin Pedroia RBI single, Papi sac fly and a 3-run homerun from Manny which gives Yanks starter Sidney Ponson the early hook. Jon Lester continues his recent dominance, allowing two runs or less for the seventh consecutive start in getting his 9th win.
