The Red Sox have beaten the Yankees in seven straight regular-season games, dating back to last September, for the first time since 1984-85. They beat the Yankees -- then nicknamed the Highlanders -- 17 straight times in 1911-12. With sole possession of first place in the AL East at stake tonight, Tim Wakefield tries to keep the streak going against Chien-Ming Wang.
