A-Rod's Blast Lifts Yankees Over Red Sox
Summary with new information since yesterday, from articles in English
BOSTON - The New York Yankees are trying to break another one of baseball's unwritten rules, the one that says a double-digit deficit on Memorial Day is insurmountable .
No longer tied for last with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, New York still trails Boston by 12 1/2 games .
Rodriguez reached base three times and scored twice despite being mocked by a Fenway crowd that - with the division race apparently in hand - had no place else to direct its anger .
The Yankees already led 9-3 (there's supposed to be an unwritten rule about stealing with a big lead, too) .
The otherwise emotionless game boiled over with two outs to go when Proctor, who's already been suspended once this season for pitching inside, dusted Boston's Kevin Youkilis, who then made a move toward the mound .
A few dozen fans in seats near the New York dugout pulled on masks of a woman with blonde hair, a reference to the woman photographed with Rodriguez last weekend in Toronto .
In a front-page story on Friday, the New York Post reported she is a former Las Vegas stripper .
After Torre watched the sequence in which Posada was lined up inside but the ball got away from Proctor Torre understood what Proctor meant . (article 2)
