Sox avoid Yanks sweep with 9-3 victory

-- Just when the Sox looked like they would roll over for the Yankees this 3-game set, they went and completely redeemed themselves with a 9-3 win at Fenway Park Sunday night.

Jon Lester is beginning to look like more of an ace than Josh Beckett these days after collecting his third win of the season with a 7 strikeout, 4 hit performance over 7 innings.

The Sox supported Lester with their best bats of the season, including RBI doubles from Youkilis, Beltre and Ortiz as well as a long-ball compliments of Hermida. Keep in mind this was primarily off of AJ Burnett, whose been one of the hottest starters in the majors this season.

Lester improved to 3-2 with Burnett getting his first loss of the year at 4-1. The Sox host Toronto Monday night with John Lackey taking the mound and hope to dip over .500 for the first time in May.

Sox record: (16-16)
