 BOSTON (AP) - Kyle Farnsworth couldn't have put himself in a much scarier situation — bases loaded and Big Papi at the plate. Farnsworth struck out David Ortiz in the eighth — the fourth time the slugger fanned Wednesday night — and New York held on to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-6, overcoming another rocky outing by Randy Johnson.
"If you make pitches against anybody you can get them out," Farnsworth said. "He's definitely been labeled a Yankee killer."
Melky Cabrera, in just his 18th major-league game, was a Red Sox killer with two-run singles in four-run rallies in the second and fifth. Cabrera, who had one career RBI before getting four Wednesday, batted leadoff in place of Johnny Damon, who sat out with an injured foot.
