NYY 3 - LAA 2 F; BOS 9 - KC 2 F

At least for now, the Yankees seem to have figured out Angel Stadium, completing their final West Coast road trip by taking the final two games of a three game series from the Halos. AJ Burnett (12-9, 4.19) got the win for New York, logging 5.2 and allowing 2 runs on 7 hits while striking out 11. His counterpart was familiar foe Scott Kazmir, who was recently acquired by the Angels last month. Despite a quality start (6.0 innings, 3 runs on 6 hit, 4 strikeouts), Kazmir (9-9, 5.06) got pinned with the loss. This was the only homerless game of the series, but the Yankee offense was provided by Robinson Cano (2 rbis; 78,79) and Melky Cabrera (65). For the Angels, Bobby Abreu posted his 98th rbi of the season - Gary Matthews Jr. his 46th. Mariano Rivera picked up his 42nd save.

Homeruns:

NYY: None
LAA: None

New York (97-56)

It was the Red Sox 9-2 over the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday night at Kaufman Stadium, getting off their small skid. Josh Beckett logged a solid performance, picking up his 16th win of the year (16-6, 3.78). Luke Hochevar got the loss for KC (7-11, 5.98).

Homeruns:

BOS: Ortiz (25)
KC: None
