The Red Sox won the match 6-5.

But Wang is not the only player who deserves the finger. The team of
The Yankees are holding a single lantern light: Mark Teixeria, who added four hits on Wednesday - including Homer, CC Sabathier, a great Lefty nearly unhittable and Phil Hughes, who, in relief, siege Monday in
