Yankees Deal Red Sox 8-5 Defeat
Starting pitcher Jose Balanzar pitched well enough to help the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox, 8-5. The Yankees lead the American League East Division by 10½ games.

The outcome might have been different for New York, had it not been for Cesar Herran, the 37-year old shortstop . Herran stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the eighth inning to put New York up, 8-0. For the game, he was 3 for 4, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Herran, "one at-bat at a time."
