Yankees bat in top of inning, Red Sox bat in bottom of inning

Let’s start bottom 1st, 0-0 and Jacoby Ellsbury blasts it to right, his first home run off a left handed pitcher since September 27, 2011! That puts the Sox up 1-0. Bottom 2nd, same score and Johnny Gomes hits a 2-run homer over the green monster and the Red Sox are up 3-0! Top 5th now and Brett Gardner get struck out looking, Gardner thinks it’s a ball, he throws his helmet on the ground in frustration, Red Sox go on to win 4-2.
