 The Yankees scored 12 runs after the fifth inning, including nine
runs in the seventh.
McCann hit a tie-breaking double off Robbie Ross Jr. in the sixth as
the Yankees put together four consecutive hits and took a 4-2 lead.
He then blasted a three-run home run off Craig Breslow for an 8-3
lead with one out in the seventh before an RBI double by third
baseman Chase Headley made it 9-3.
The lead stretched to 10-3 on a run-scoring single by center fielder
Jacoby Ellsbury while left fielder Chris Young made it 13-3 by
blasting the first pitch from Alexi Ogando over the left field wall.
Designated hitter Alex Rodriguez had an RBI single to open the
seventh-inning barrage. Rodriguez's hit scored Ellsbury, who reached
on a throwing error by shortstop Xander Bogaerts, resulting in four
of the nine runs being unearned.
New York right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (8-4) won for the fourth time
in five starts, allowing three runs and five hits in six-plus
innings. Tanaka was lifted after Boston third baseman Pablo Sandoval
opened the seventh with his ninth home run.

16 after a lengthy opening inning.
