Mike Mussina hurled six scoreless innings, and
New York survived a late scare to clip Boston, 2-1, in the third installment
of a four-game series from Yankee Stadium. Mussina (11-6) allowed four hits
in his outing, striking out five and walking one to record his first win
since June 14. Mariano Rivera allowed two hits and a run in the ninth but
held on to record his 23rd save. Melky Cabrera and Brett Gardner had an RBI
each for the Yankees, who won for the second time in their last seven.
Justin Masterson (4-3) took the loss, his third in the last five starts. He
surrendered six hits and two runs over six full frames and also hit three
batters. Mike Lowell drove in a run while Manny Ramirez was hit by a pitch
three times for the Red Sox, who have dropped six of eight.
