The Yankees muscled their way back into the game in the seventh against reliever Ramon Ramirez, who took a 1.27 ERA into the game. Damon greeted him with the third home run of the night into the Sox bullpen, and Teixeira follow by slamming another homer into the right-field grandstand, his fourth hit of the night. Ramirez had allowed only one previous homer in 28 1/3 innings of work this season.
A two-out single by Posada knocked Ramirez out of the game. Hideki Okajima took over and fanned Matsui for the final out, keeping the Red Sox ahead 6-5.
