Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - The Red Sox waited out a three-hour, 27-minute rain delay, then waited until the seventh inning to come alive, scoring seven runs in the frame en route an 8-3 win and another series sweep of New York at Yankee Stadium. David Ortiz scored the first run of the seventh and capped it with a two-run double, as Boston improved to 8-1 in the season series against its American League East rival. Josh Beckett (5-2) continued his strong start to the season by allowing just two runs -- on Curtis Grandersons homer in the first -- over seven innings. He gave four hits and two walks and improved to 3-0 against New York this year. CC Sabathia (7-4) was charged with six runs on eight hits and two walks in 6 2/3 frames for the Yankees, who had won six of seven entering the three-game series. Its not how you wanted it to end tonight, it did and youve got to move on, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Derek Jeter was hit by a pitch in the Yankees initial at-bat, the first of three batters hit by Beckett. Granderson followed with a homer into the second-deck in right, but that was all the hosts mustered off Beckett. The Red Sox struggled at the plate with just two hits in the first six innings before solving Sabathia in the seventh. Ortiz, who was plunked in the fourth frame, started off the rally with a single and lumbered around the bases when Nick Swisher misplayed Jed Lowries hit down the right-field line. Lowrie was credited with a triple and scored the tying run on Mike Camerons two-bagger to left. Three of the next four hitters singled, with Jacoby Ellsbury and Adrian Gonzalez each knocking in a run. David Robertson relieved Sabathia following Gonzalezs hit and yielded an RBI base hit to Kevin Youkilis and Ortizs two-run double to center. Gonzalez tacked on another run-scoring double in the ninth, and Jeters RBI groundout in the bottom half did little to take away from the Red Soxs sixth straight win overall. We played some good baseball, Cameron said. Tonight was a story of Beckett keeping us in the game and coming up with some big hits.

If things come together, the 39-year-old would sign a deal for slightly more than the league minimum of US$480,000. He first must serve a 50-game suspension without pay for violating baseballs drug policy for the second time. With no rainouts, the first game Ramirez would be eligible to play is June 2 at Kansas City. The sides could reach agreement as soon as the next few days or sometime next week, and Ramirez then likely would travel from Florida to Arizona to undergo a physical before joining Oaklands spring training camp for full-squad workouts starting Feb. 25. Pitchers and catchers report to camp Saturday. Oakland recently sent representatives to Florida to observe workouts by Ramirez, who retired from the Tampa Bay Rays last season rather than serve a 100-game suspension. For Ramirez, this could become a chance to help repair his reputation and serve as a positive clubhouse influence on a young team -- thats sure what the Oakland brass hope, anyway. The As last week agreed to terms on a $36-million, four-year contract with highlly sought after outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, a Cuban defector who has expressed interest in playing with Ramirez.dddddddddddd At baseballs winter meetings in December, it was announced Ramirez had applied for reinstatement. He had his suspension for a second failed drug test cut to 50 because he sat out nearly all of last season. MLB had announced his retirement April 8, saying he was notified "of an issue" under the drug program. Ramirez, who will be 40 on May 30, ranks 14th on the career list with 555 home runs. He went 1-for-17 (.059) in five games last season for Tampa Bay, which had signed him to a one-year, $2.02-million deal. This would be the 20th major league season for Ramirez, a career .312 hitter with 1,831 RBIs. Oakland, which traded away its top three pitchers this off-season, sure could use a power bat in the middle of the order in a tough AL West that already has seen the key additions of Albert Pujols on the Los Angeles Angels and star Japanese pitcher Yu Darvish for the two-time reigning AL champion Texas Rangers. The As havent reached the playoffs or had a winning season since being swept by the Tigers in the 2006 AL championship series. cheap jerseys　 wholesale jerseys　cheap jerseys　cheap nfl jerseys　wholesale jerseys ' ' '
