 The O's now lead the AL East by three games over the Yankees. A pair of late homers propelling the Red Sox past the Yankees. Here's Tom Merriam. New York was leading 3-1 with two out and nobody on in the ninth. Injurer Dominic Smith then singled. Masutake Yoshida quickly fell into an 0-2 count against Yankee closer Clay Holmes. But six pitches later, he blasted just his third home run of the year to tie the score at three.
