Boston Red Sox

Breathing room?

The Yankees have put at least a little breathing room between themselves and the Sox, opening up a 4-1 lead heading to the bottom of the fifth inning.

Final line on Johnson, in what was likely his swan song with Boston, at least until September callups if the Red Sox do so choose: 4 1/3, seven hits, four runs (all earned), two walks, and three strikeouts.
