April 6, 2010 Yankees 4, Red Sox 3

The Sox fall to 0-2 with another tough loss to the Yankees. Lots of early scoring for New York is again the difference, with all four runs in the first three innings off of Jon Lester. This time the Sox mount the comeback, getting within one run by the 6th. Mariano Rivera takes the 8th and 9th innings for New York and the Sox get a runner on in the 8th and two runners on in the 9th but nobody can cross the plate and they lose by a run with the tying run stranded at second base.
