Manny, Red Sox Outlast Rain and Yankees

Posted Apr 13, 08 10:06 AM CDT in Sports 

(Newser) – Manny Ramirez homered and added a two-run double to give the Red Sox the lead, and Josh Beckett rebounded from a bad season debut to lead Boston to a 4-3 victory over the New York Yankees yesterday. A day after Chien-Ming Wang pitched a two-hitter to beat Boston in the series opener, Beckett (1-1) allowed just one questionable hit in the first five innings, and five hits in all.

Mike Mussina (1-2) allowed four runs and eight hits before leaving after Ramirez doubled with two out in the sixth to give Boston a 3-2 lead. Brian Bruney relieved him and gave up an RBI single to Kevin Youkilis before JD Drew popped to short to end the inning. The game was delayed by rain 2 hours and 11 minutes in the eighth.

    MLB's Midterm Report Cards Report card time! Here’s how the rambunctious kids of MLB are doing so far, in Yahoo Sports’ Steven Henson’s estimation.

    Particular kudos go to the Rays, the poor kid who went to the head of the class.

    B students—Cardinals, Brewers, Twins, Phillies, Yankees, Athletics, Marlins, Orioles
