Yankees Score Late to Upend Red Sox, 11-9
The New York Yankees downed the Boston Red Sox, 11-9, at Fenway Park. The Yankees were led by Derrek Lee, who captured player of the game honors. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. Lee Smith earned his 1st save in 3 chances. Even with the win, the Yankees have a dismal 46-90 record.

Had Lee not come through in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have changed. Instead, with two down, Lee hit a 2-run home run. The Yankees never looked back after taking the 11-9 lead.

"Ugly win or not, we'll take it," said Lee.
