Against Jose Veras, Youkilis singled to third and Bay's triple scored him. Jed Lowrie and Jason Varitek drew consecutive walks and Cora's sacrifice fly made it 6-2. Crisp followed with an RBI single and David Robertson spelled Veras. He allowed a single to Ellsbury which loaded the bases and set the stage for Pedroia's slam for an 11-2 score.

David Ortiz singled but Youkilis flew out and Bay grounded out to end the onslaught.

Mike Timlin held the Bombers off the board in the eighth. Giambi greeted Timlin with a leadoff homer in the ninth but the veteran reliever closed the door on Boston's rout.

The Sox got on the board with a pair in the first. Pedroia singled with one out and Ortiz doubled. Two batters later, Bay drove them both in with a double. After Lowrie's walk, Varitek singled but Bay was thrown out trying to score for the final out.

The Yanks countered in their turn, as Bobby Abreu walked with two down and scored when Rodriguez doubled down the left-field line.

Rodriguez led off the fourth with a double and scored the tying run later in the frame on Cano's two-out single.

Boston loaded the bases against Ponson in the fifth on one-out singles by Ellsbury and Pedroia plus a walk to Ortiz. Youkilis walked to force in a run then Bay's sac fly scored Pedroia while moving Ortiz to third.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch

Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.

Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.

"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
