The 5th Starter. Kim threw 60 pitches in four scoreless innings Saturday for Pawtucket. Kim struck out two, walked one and allowed two hits against Syracuse. His fastball topped out at 88 mph in his third rehab appearance. Francona says when he's healthy, he'll replace Arroyo as the #5 starter.

Mueller got his first day off Sunday. ... Bellhorn drew his league-leading 19th walk. ... Ramirez hit his 20th career home run at Yankee Stadium, which ties Rafael Palmeiro for the lead among active Yankees opponents. ... The other other team in the last 30 years to go 0-19 with runners at second or third (as Boston did on Saturday) was the Pirates, who lost to the Padres 4-1 on June 11, 1977.

Manny Speaks: "I ain't going to think, 'Oh, they put me on waivers, they don't want me.' ... It's not that I have any problem with the media. Like I always said, maybe like me, Pedro (Martinez) and David (Ortiz), our English is not that good and we don't know how to express ourselves that good. So that's why I'm like that, almost quiet. I don't like to talk or whatever. ... I never think (the Red Sox) didn't want me. I just go out there and play the game. I don't care what people say about Manny this or that. ... Everywhere I go, I want to be good."

Boston has beaten New York in six of their first seven games, something they have not done since 1913. From Retrosheet, here are the results of all the Red Sox/Yankees games that season:
