NEW YORK (AP) — Masataka Yoshida hit a tying, two-run homer off Clay Holmes with two outs in the ninth inning, Ceddane Rafaela homered against Tommy Kahnle leading off the 10th and the Boston Red stunned New York 5-3 on Friday night and sent the Yankees to their 14th loss in 18 games.
Boston overcame a 3-0 deficit and won its fifth straight game and 15th in 20.
Romy Gonzalez started the comeback when he homered leading off the fifth.
Holmes, without a save since June 9, allowed pinch-hitter Dominic Smith's two-out single in the ninth. Yoshida fell behind 0-2, then drove a full-count pitch into the right-field seats for his third homer, his first since April 20.
