Boston Massacre Part II

Yanks sweep into Boston, take five straight against their rivals for the first time since 1953, raise their lead in the AL East to 6 1/2 games.

"After outscoring the Red Sox 47-25 in four games over three days, the Yankees rediscovered their pitching in a 2-1 victory Monday in the finale to complete a demoralizing five-game sweep at Fenway Park. "

Former Yank bench coach Don Zimmer says that Torre is doing his best job managing this year, but believes that Jim Leyland in Detroit will keep him from winning Managerial honors this year.

"The only thing is he probably won't be the manager of the year because it will probably be (Detroit's Jim) Leyland... If ever Joe would be the manager of the year, to me, this would be the year. The job he's done with the pitching staff and three or four key men out of the lineup. This is probably his best job of keeping a club going," he said."
