8R in 4.2 IP is most Lester has given up since 11R (all ER) on 9H, 4 IP, v TOR 7/22/12. #redsox #yankees

Lester 4.2 IP, 11H, 8R, 3ER, 4 BB, 118/76, ERA from 2,17 to 2,67. All 4R in 5th unearned. #redsox #yankees

Going on Post 5th inning with John and Suzyn if you want to give a listen #Yankees
by Boston Red Sox via twitter 4/23/2014 1:02:23 AM
Yankees add 4 more in the top of the 5th to take a 8-2 lead.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:59:15 AM
Lester had allowed seven earned runs in his 1st four starts. Leaves down 7-2. Four unearned, but still

Looking for a place to escape the rain? The Champions Club in the Big Concourse (behind the bleachers) is open through the end of the game.

Ellsbury 2-R, 2-out double, and that's it for Lester. #Yankees 7, #RedSox 2. Capuano in.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:57:08 AM
Ellsbury with a two-run double. Lester is done and the #RedSox might be, too, 7-2.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:54:21 AM
Would think this is Lester’s last batter one way or another
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:53:33 AM
Roberts 2-out E-3, scores Teixeira. 3 of 4 lead-off batters who have reached have scored.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:53:02 AM
Defense again bites #RedSox . Napoli has to secure that. 5-2 Yankees.
by Mark Feinsand via twitter 4/23/2014 12:50:45 AM
So @Above1stBase reminded me CC hit Ortiz in June 2011. Forgot that one. Still, surprised it doesn't happen more when he pimps like that.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:50:37 AM
Lester has allowed 4 of 5 lead-off batters to reach, 3H, 1BB. 2 have scored, so far. #redsox #Yankees
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:48:58 AM
Capuano warming up.

Yanks lead 4-2 after Ortiz/Napoli take Tanaka back-to-back in the fourth.
by Tom Caron via twitter 4/23/2014 12:38:32 AM
Two homers this inning. On this date in 2007 the @RedSox hit four consecutive HRs vs the Yankees. But Tanaka is no Chase Wright.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:38:23 AM
Tanaka had given up 2 HR total over 25 IP this season before Ortiz/Napoli in span of 4 pitches. #redsox #yankees
by Mark Feinsand via twitter 4/23/2014 12:37:57 AM
I don't advocate intentionally hitting a batter .... but it's amazing that nobody - on any team, not just the Yankees - has drilled Ortiz.
by Nick Cafardo via twitter 4/23/2014 12:37:07 AM
Red Sox pounding Tanaka in fourth, solo shots by Ortiz and Napoli; 2B off wall by Pierzynski. Tanak was warned about Green Monster.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:36:32 AM
You see? You see? He's not a machine, he's a man, he's a man.
by Steve Silva via twitter 4/23/2014 12:34:27 AM
July 30, 2013 (Ellsbury/Pedroia) was the last time the Red Sox hit back to back home runs
by Boston Red Sox via twitter 4/23/2014 12:34:11 AM
BACK-TO-BACK. @MikeNapoli25 regains the team lead with 5 HRs. He launches a solo shot over the Green Monster to make it 4-2 game!
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:34:09 AM
Napoli goes back-to-back, laserbeam into monster seats. His 5th. #Yankees 4, #RedSox 2. 1st time back to back for Sox this season.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:33:27 AM
And Napoli into the monster seats. 4-2.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:33:15 AM
Ortiz crushes solo HR into CF seats. 4th HR of season. #Yankees 4-1.
by Boston Red Sox via twitter 4/23/2014 12:33:03 AM
CRUSHED! @davidortiz with a solo shot to deep center to make it a 4-1 game. His 4th HR of the season ties Nap for team lead.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:32:54 AM
That ball went to places at Fenway usually not visited by baseballs.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:32:26 AM
Ortiz looked much better in his second AB vs Tanaka. That ball had sparks on it.
by Mark Feinsand via twitter 4/23/2014 12:32:19 AM
Ortiz stood and watched his home run until it landed in the seats. Didn't even pretend to start running.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:31:56 AM
1 wk shy of 28th (!) anniversary of Clemens 1st 20K game // MT @tomdangelo44 Jose Fernandez strikes out side in 4th and 5th. Has 10 ks.
by Boston Red Sox via twitter 4/23/2014 12:29:29 AM
A 1-2-3 top of the 4th for @JLester31 with 2Ks. Heart of the order due up in bottom half looking for some runs. Pedey doubled 1st time up.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:28:21 AM
Middle of 4th, @senatorjohn goes CCR: youtube.com/watch?v=lIPan-…
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:26:17 AM
And it's raining. 2 outs, T4th,, #Yankees 4, #RedSox 0.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:25:51 AM
Starting to rain at Fenway.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:25:48 AM
And it's raining. 2 outs, T3d, #Yankees 4, #RedSox 0.
by Maureen Mullen via twitter 4/23/2014 12:23:59 AM
Red Sox notes: Gomes v Tanaka; Ellsbury back; The rivalry; 1st time for everything boston.com/sports/basebal…

Yankees get another 2 and take a 4-0 lead. A nice DP started by Pedroia avoids further damage and ends the inning.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:14:00 AM
Pedroia turns a double play on Ellsbury to maintain some sort of order.
by Pete Abraham via twitter 4/23/2014 12:11:40 AM
Another play not made in the OF. Defense a major issue for #RedSox . Now Ellsbury can break game open.
