Hideki Rice

Matsui takes a page out of Jim Rice's playbook, and does a good decoy in left field to make Millar think he was going to catch the ball off the wall. He might have saved a run there. Sox, after an intentional walk, have the bases loaded and Varitek is pinch hitting for Mirabelli.

Update: Varitek hits a slow ball to shortstop, and the Yankees fail to turn the double play, although it was close. Then they make another baserunning blunder to end the inning. It's 3-1 Red Sox after 7. Mussina was taken out of the game after the Varitek RBI. He goes 6 2/3, gives up three earned runs and strikes out 10.
