Today's game was no slugfest - Lidle did a great job for NY, and Wells did a great job for Boston. The difference in the game was a double, a sac bunt, and a wild pitch - the Boston pen held up, other than the wild pitch. The standings after this:

Boston started 1 1/2 back, 2 in the loss column. They now live 6 1/2 back, 7 in the loss column - and 4 1/2 back in the wild card race. The Yankees look ready to cruise into the playoffs with another AL East crown. Unlike last year, the Yankees bullpen seems to be up to the task.
