For the second straight night a Yankees starter lasted just 2 2/3 innings as the Red Sox took a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the third. Lowell led off with his 10th home run. Kotsay drilled a one-out single, and Wang, who was on a pitch count, was lifted after fanning Green for the second out of the inning. Wang and A.J. Burnett, combined to throw 153 pitches in 5 1/3 innings in the first two games of this series while being charged with nine runs.
Phil Hughes relieved Wang and struck out Kottaras to end the inning.
