NEW YORK -- Ryan Hanigan, Travis Shaw and Xander Bogaerts homered off Michael Pineda to back knuckleballer Steven Wright, and the Boston Red Sox opened the second half with a 5-3 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night.Hanigans third-inning homer was his first since last Aug. 19 off Clevelands Corey Kluber, and the ball was caught by reliever Robbie Ross Jr., who stuck out his cap to snag it in the visitors bullpen in left field. Shaw hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and Bogaerts made it 5-0 with a two-run drive in the sixth.Wright (11-5), who began the night with an AL-leading 2.68 ERA, was a first-time All-Star at age 31 but didnt pitch in Tuesday nights game and was moved up in Bostons rotation for the series opener. He retired his first 14 batters before Alex Rodriguez hit a slow hopper the pitcher couldnt come up with on a bare-hand try about 45 feet from the plate on the third base side.New York closed the gap with a three-run sixth, when Wright lost the strike zone. Carlos Beltran had a two-run single, and Brian McCann hit an RBI grounder as first baseman Hanley Ramirez bounced his throw to second, eliminating the possibility of an inning-ending double play.Wright won for the eighth time in nine decisions, allowing three runs and three hits in six innings. Brad Ziegler and Ross followed with an inning apiece, and Koji Uehara finished the four-hitter for his fifth save, his third since closer Craig Kimbrel hurt a knee.Before the game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said the decision to buy or sell ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline likely will be determined by this 10-game homestand.
