Designated hitter Ken Griffey Jr smacked 3 homeruns and had 4 RBI as the

Boston Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees by the score of 12 to 5 at

Yankee Stadium.



Griffey Jr propelled Boston to victory. He doubled in the 3rd inning, cracked

a two-run shot in the 4th inning, lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' in the 7th

inning and hit a bases-empty home run (his 5th of the season) in the 9th

inning. Boston lit up the scoreboard in the 2nd inning with 3 runs on 5 hits

and the 4th inning when they had 3 runs on 3 hits. Offensively, Boston was a

juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings.



The winning pitcher was Rick Helling(7-12) who allowed 5 runs in 7 and 1/3

innings. Jason Davis(10-11) took the loss. He served up 4 homeruns in his 6

innings.
