It was home run derby last night as David Ortiz, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Jason Varitek each hit a two run home run as the Red Sox take the second game of the series, 9-5.
The Yankees took the early lead as Jeter was able to hit a rbi single off of Josh Beckett. Then Dustin Pedroia hit a sacrifice to bring in Scutaro and Jed Lowrie that made Phil Hughes pay for intentiontally walking Ortiz with an RBI single to make it 2-1.
Then Ortiz decided to have his own retribution against Hughes with his 28th homer to center to make it 4-1. Phil Hughes is just awful, I'm sick of people telling me that he's not that bad, he is. All Yankee fans can remain optimistic when Hughes pitches 6 innings and letting up 2ers and make him out to the second coming of Christ, but he isn't, he sucks.
Josh Beckett didn't pitch his best game allowing four earned runs and six hits. He struck out eight and walked three. But whatever, it was good to see him get the win after getting so many no decisions.
Tonight the Sox will be going against AJ Burnett so it's nice winning 2 out of the 3 from this series.
