Red Sox Beat Yankees 2 Games to 1

It was a three-game weekend series against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.  Boston lined up their pitching pretty well with Jon Lester, Felix Doubront, and Clay Buchholz.

05/31:  Yankees 4 Red Sox 1 (33-23)
Jon Lester did not have much control and got hit hard once again.  C.C. Sabathia pitched well for the first time in a couple of games and Boston could not come through in the ninth inning against Mariano Rivera.

DUSTIN PEDROIA:  3 for 4, run, 2 doubles.

06/01:  Red Sox 11 (34-23) Yankees 1
Felix Doubront just owns the Yankees.  Coupled with a massive offensive performance featuring a grand slam from Mike Napoli, a three run home run from Daniel Nava, and a solo shot from Stephen Drew, the Red Sox rolled to an easy victory.  Jackie Bradley Jr. came through with three hits including two doubles as well.
