Yankees Hit 5-HR’s, Beat Sox In Fenway Centennial Game

The New York Yankees (or, the Highlanders) weren't caught up in the nostalgia as Fenway Park celebrated 100 years on Friday, beating the Red Sox 6-2 on Friday afternoon.

Each team wore nameless and numberless throwback uniforms - Boston donning all white hats, shirts and pants with red lettering, and New York, all grey jersey with the interlaced NY logo on the left chest, along with a grey hat and dark brim.

Alex Rodriguez hit one of New York's five solo-home runs on the day, A-Rod second of the season and 631st of his career, surpassing Ken Griffey Jr. for 5th on the all-time list. Eric Chavez had a pair of jacks and Nick Swisher and Russell Martin each had one.

Ivan Nova (3-0) continued his streak, with six innings of two-run ball, winning is 15th straight decision.

Clay Buchholz fell to 1-1, allowing five earned runs on nine hits over six innings.

The first game a Fenway Park, on April 20, 1912, saw the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Highlanders 7-6.

Freddy Garcia (0-1) faces Felix Doubront (0-0) on Saturday at 4:05.
