G158: Yankees 6, Red Sox 2

Red Sox - 000 101 000 - 2  6  2
Yankees - 202 011 00x - 6  8  0

Jacoby Ellsbury hit two solo home runs (#29 and #30), making him the first player in Red Sox history to have 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases in the same season. There have been only eight 20/20 players in Boston history. Two of them -- Ellsbury and Dustin Pedroia -- are from this season.

The outcome of six of Wakefield's first 14 pitches tells you all you need to know about this afternoon:

1 - Gardner singles (bunt)
2 - Gardner steals second
3 - Jeter singles (bunt), Gardner to third
7 - Jeter steals second, Gardner scores on E-2 (missed catch)
13 - Jeter to third on passed ball
14 - Jeter scores on wild pitch
