RED SOX 10, YANKEES 8
Yanks Come Back, Just
Not All the Way

The Red Sox battered Andy Pettitte
for 10 hits — the most he has
allowed in a start this season —
and 7 runs in three and a third
innings.

The optimists out there will view
Andy Pettitte’s outing Friday night
and say that he will absolutely,
positively be sharp for the
postseason. The pessimists will say
that Pettitte ’s miserable start,
coming the night after the 20-
game winner C. C. Sabathia came
unhinged, leaves the Yankees
vulnerable for a first-round exit —
that is, if they make the playoffs at
all. Somewhere in the middle,
reality exists. And on a day
teeming with potential, the reality
is that nothing was accomplished
Friday when the Yankees hit six
home runs but lost, 10-8, to the
Boston Red Sox
