Yankees Down Red Sox – MLB Roundup

UNDATED (AP) — Jacoby Ellsbury had a pretty productive night in his first game against his former team.

Ellsbury went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored as the New York Yankees downed Boston 4-1. He put the Yankees ahead 4-0 in the fifth with a run-scoring single off ex-roommate Clay Buchholz (BUHK'-ohlts). Ellsbury also scored the Bombers' first run on a single by Brian McCann, who ended an 0-for-14 drought.

Michael Pineda (pih-NAY'-duh) struck out seven and allowed a run and four hits over six innings for his first win as a Yankee.

CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia will miss the rest of the season because of a tear in his left shoulder. An MRI taken Thursday revealed the torn labrum. Garcia is scheduled to have surgery next week.
