Boston Red Sox's center fielder Grady Sizemore watches his three-run home run in front of New York Yankees' catcher Francisco Cervelli during their MLB game at Yankee Stadium in New York Friday. — Reuters NEW YORK — Left fielder Grady Sizemore hit a go-ahead three-run home run with one out in the top of the sixth inning, and Jon Lester pitched effectively into the seventh, as the Boston Red Sox evened their four-game series with a 4-2 win at Yankee Stadium. Right fielder Jonny Gomes also homered for the Red Sox, who had one hit through five innings against New York starter CC Sabathia, while Lester (1-2) allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings. The Red Sox were getting stymied by Sabathia (1-2), who even with diminished velocity seemed dominant at least for the first four innings when he breezed through with 44 pitches. But after some tough at-bats ended with outs in the fifth, Boston managed to get to the left-hander in the sixth inning. Mariners 6, Athletics 4: Seattle Mariners pitcher Felix Hernandez impressed in his home operner as the Seattle Mariners beat the Oakland Athletics. Hernandez tossed seven innings of four-hit ball, striking out 11 along the way, though Oakland (6-4) had a four-run eighth inning to make it interesting after chasing Hernandez from the game. Blue Jays 2, Orioles 0: Toronto starter Dustin McGowan threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings and the Blue Jays took advantage of several miscues by the Baltimore Orioles for a road victory in the first of their three-game series on Friday. McGowan (1-1) allowed five hits with two strikeouts and one walk on 90 pitches in just his second start since 2011. Other results: White Sox 9, Indians 6; Twins 10, Royals 1; Brewers 4, Pirates 2. National League Dodgers 6, Diamondbacks 0: Los Angeles first baseman Adrian Gonzalez hit a two-run home run and drove in five runs and Dodgers left-hander Ryu Hyun-jin held Arizona scoreless for the second time this season in a road victory over the Diamondbacks. Ryu (2-1) gave up two hits and struck out eight in five innings. He has thrown 12 scoreless innings against Arizona this season after pitching the first five innings of a 7-5 victory in Sydney, Australia, on March 23. Braves 7, Nationals 6 (10 innings): Left fielder Justin Upton looped a single into right field to score pinch-runner Jordan Schafer and give the Atlanta Braves a home win over the Washington Nationals in the 10th inning. Upton fisted a 2-2 pitch off reliever Jerry Blevins (1-1) in front of center fielder Bryce Harper. The ball landed in front of Harper and took a bounce to the right, which allowed Schafer to race all the way from first base with the winning run. Phillies 6, Marlins 3: Right fielder Marlon Byrd drove in two runs as the Philadelphia Phillies bombed Miami Marlins ace Jose Fernandez. Byrd, shortstop Jimmy Rollins, second baseman Chase Utley and left fielder Domonic Brown had two hits apiece for Philadelphia (4-6), who snapped a four-game losing streak. Other results: Brewers 4, Pirates 2; Cubs 6, Cardinals 3 (11 innings); Giants 6, Rockies 5. Inter-League Rays 2, Reds 1: Left-fielder Matt Joyce homered and left-hander David Price allowed one run in 8 1/3 innings, lifting the Tampa Bay Rays to a road victory over the Cincinnati Reds. Padres 6, Tigers 0: Andrew Cashner pitched a one-hit, complete-game shutout as the San Diego Padres blanked the Detroit Tigers. — Reuters
