How Sweet it is!

The Red Sox shut down the Yankees (again) 7-0 on just 2 hits. Starting pitcher Josh Beckett allows only 1 hit over 6 innings and strikes out 8. Big Papi gets his third homerun of the season as the Red Sox extend this year's winning streak over the Yankees to 6 and moves them back in to a tie atop the AL East. Tonight Wake (7-3) goes up against Wang (0-3). How long can the streak last?

The Reds beat Washington 3-2 behind Johnny Cueto's 7IP allowing only 4 hits and 1 run. The win moves the Redlegs percentage points ahead of the struggling Cardinals into third place and only 2.5 GB. With the Reds continuing the series with the lowly Nationals and then heading the Kansas City for three games, this could be a great week for the club.

Reds (30-27) 2.5 GB
Red Sox (34-24) 1st in AL East
