A fresh Jorge Posada who has been resting a sore arm on and off for the past two weeks fueled the Yankees past the Sox by a score of 6-4.  Posada picked up the slack of not having A-Rod due to the birth of his daughter, by going four for five with a career high three doubles as well as two RBI’s.  A night after not getting a hit, Jim Thome had two along with Orlando Cabrera which combined they made up four of the six hits the Sox had in the game.  The other two hits were by Joe Crede and Carlos Quentin, which were both solo home runs.  However, it was not enough to get past the Yankees and Mike Mussina.  Javier Vazquez had a rough started going five and one-third innings giving up ten hits and five earned runs.  Mussina earned his 252nd career win on seven solid innings pitched.  Gavin Floyd takes on Phil Hughes tomorrow in the final game of the series with the Yankees, hopefully the Sox can avoid being swept by the Bronx Bombers.
