NEW YORK (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox are doing a lot better at the new Yankee Stadium than the home team.
Jason Bay hit a three-run homer in a four-run first inning against Joba Chamberlain, and the Red Sox beat New York 7-3 Tuesday night for a rainy two-game sweep in the first trip to their rival's $1.5 billion ballpark. Boston improved to 5-0 against New York for the first time since 1985. New York is 6-5 overall at its new home following three straight losses.
Chamberlain (1-1) allowed hits to his first five batters, then recovered to strike out a career-high 12 in 5 2-3 innings, including nine looking.
Josh Beckett (3-2) bounced back from a pair of poor outings and allowed his only runs on Johnny Damon's three-run homer in the third.
