So here it was, the matchup that Hank
Steinbrenner wanted from the day he was talked out
of trading for Johan Santana. Boss Hank would tell anyone who would listen that Joba Chamberlain would be the Yankees' Josh Beckett.
The pitching matchup came as advertised as the
New York Yankees and Joba Chamberlain got the better
of Josh Beckett and the Boston Red Sox in a 1-0 win in front of 37,744 at Fenway Park. The Red Sox drop to ½ game behind the Rays who are still playing and the Yanks, winners of 7 straight, move to 2 games behind the Red Sox for second place in the AL East.
