Red Sox Squeeze By New York, 5-4
Fenway Park played host to some real drama.

Led by Carlton Fisk, the Boston Red Sox downed the New York Yankees, 5-4, in 10 innings. Fisk went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs for the Red Sox. Boston reliever Jonathan Papelbon picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Mariano Rivera was saddled with the loss.

Boston got a game-changing hit from David Ortiz. The first baseman blasted a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a winner.

"That was intense," said Ortiz.

The win gives Boston a season record of 58-51.
