BOSTON — Jason Bay homered off Mariano Rivera with two outs in the ninth to send the game to extra innings, and Kevin Youkilis hit a solo shot in the 11th on Friday night as the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 5-4 for their eighth straight victory.
Ramon Ramirez (2-0) pitched one inning for the win.
Damaso Marte (0-1) struck out three and allowed one hit, the long drive over the Green Monster for Youkilis’ fifth homer of the year and his second game-ender.
Rivera made his first appearance of more than one inning this season. He was one out away from his fifth save in five tries when Bay homered near the flagpole in left-center.
