This Time They Got It

After coming close to sweeping the Yankees in four games two weekends ago, Boston pulled off a three-game sweep of the Bombers at Fenway.

09/13:  Red Sox 8 (90-59) Yankees 4
After the bullpen squandered the lead given them by John Lackey, Jarrod Saltalamacchia came to the rescue.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
JARROD SALTALAMACCHIA:  2 for 3, 2 runs, grand slam home run.

09/14:  Red Sox 5 (91-59) Yankees 1
Jon Lester pitched a terrific game and the offense came through again.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
JON LESTER:  8 innings, 3 hits, 1 earned run, 2 walks, 5 strikeouts, Win.

09/15:  Red Sox 9 (92-59) Yankees 2
Clay Buchholz continued to pitch well, despite some control problem.  Mike Napoli hit a bomb to center field and the Red Sox spoiled the last game at Fenway (hopefully) for Mariano Rivera.
PLAYER OF THE GAME:
DANIEL NAVA:  4 for 5, run, RBI, 2 doubles.
