BOSTON -- With the potential tying run on third base, Mookie Betts wanted to get the ball in the air. It didnt matter given the good bounces the Boston Red Sox were getting.Xander Bogaerts hit a two-run homer and drove in three runs, Betts had the tying single before scoring the go-ahead run and the Red Sox beat the Yankees 6-5 Saturday for their third straight win over New York.Trailing 5-4 in the seventh, the Red Sox took the lead with two well-placed bounces.Betts high-chop grounder bounced over drawn-in shortstop Didi Gregorius to score Bogaerts, and Betts scored when Adam Warren (3-2) bounced a wild pitch that caromed to the right of Sanchez.Hanley Ramirez, who started on second, went to third, stopped, then tried to score when he saw Sanchez had his back to the plate. The catcher scampered back in time for the tag.Fortunately it was able to bounce over his head, Betts said. Anytime I get a situation like that, you want to get the run in. Ideally, you want to get it in the air, but I just got on top of it.Ramirez and Bogaerts each had three hits for the AL East-leading Red Sox (84-64), who improved to three games ahead of Toronto and Baltimore.This is a day where we kept fighting back and we had to, Boston manager John Farrell said.New York (77-70) wasted 3-0 and 5-2 leads and lost for the sixth time in seven games. The Yankees, already four games back for the ALs second wild card coming in, dropped seven games behind the Red Sox in the AL East.The Yankees lost the opener 7-5 when Boston scored five runs in the ninth, capped by Ramirezs three-run homer.Its been tough and just frustrating because I felt like we were on a good roll there and just kind of havent been able to finish a game and come out on top the last couple, Warren said.Second baseman Starlin Castro left in the fifth inning after straining his right hamstring while rounding first base on a double. Rookie Gary Sanchez hit his 15th home run since his Aug. 3 recall from the minors, a two-run drive.New York opened a 5-2 lead on Austin Romines two-run double off the Green Monster in the fourth. Chase Headley, the second baserunner on the play, read the flight of the ball well and was just a few feet behind Gregorius when the pair crossed home plate.Bogaerts homered off a billboard above the left-field wall in the fifth, slicing the deficit to 5-4.Matt Barnes (4-3) pitched 1 1/3 innings in relief of David Price, and Craig Kimbrel struck out the final four batters for his 27th save in 29 chances.Weve lost some really tough games, New York manager Joe Girardi said.New York took a 3-0 in the third on Brett Gardners RBI triple and Sanchezs homer, which cleared the Monster seats above the left-field wall.TRAINERS ROOMYankees: CF Jacoby Ellsbury slid hard into the side of the bullpen, trying to make a catch and stayed in for an inning before leaving the game with what the team called a right knee injury. Girardi said Ellsbury and Castro are going back to New York for MRIs.He hurt his right patellar when he slid into the wall, Girardi said of Ellsbury.Red Sox: Farrell said before the game that 40-year-old DH David Ortiz may get Sundays finale off after running a lot the last couple of days.PRICE NOT RIGHTPrice gave up five runs and nine hits in six innings with seven strikeouts and no walks. He had allowed two runs or fewer in his previous six starts with a 1.93 ERA.It was a very big win. These guys had my back, he said. We find a way to win. It was a very big win for us.UP NEXTLHP CC Sabathia (8-12, 4.10 ERA) is to start Sunday nights series finale for the Yankees. He has allowed three or fewer runs in six of his last seven starts.

One minute we were pouring water over our heads and ice packs down our backs and the next minute there was ice falling from the sky.We were just trying to ride face down so the hail didnt hit our faces, added Froome, who took the yellow jersey with a downhill attack and stage win a day earlier. It was pretty difficult out there.Dutch rider Tom Dumoulin won the ninth leg with a solo breakaway on the beyond-category finishing climb.Froome crossed 11th, 6:35 behind Dumoulin, right behind fellow British rider Adam Yates and immediately ahead of top rival Nairo Quintana of Colombia.In the back of my mind I was waiting for (Quintanas) attack all the way up the last climb, Froome said. I thought he was saving it for one big one. But that never came. I would like to think he was on his limit. It was a tough day out there. He just stuck to my wheel like glue.He seems to be going well but right now hes not showing any more than anyone else, Froome added.In the overall classification, Froome holds a 16-second lead over Yates, with Dan Martin of Ireland third, 19 seconds behind, and Quintana fourth, 23 seconds back.Its a very open race at this point but Im very happy to have the lead going into the first rest day, Froome said.Two-time champion Alberto Contador pulled out with a fever midway through the stage.Among those who couldnt keep up with Froome on the final climb were French favorite Romain Bardet, top American hope Tejay van Garderen and Fabio Aru of Italy.Bardet is sixth overall, 44 seconds behind, Van Garderen is 11th with a gap of 1:01 and Aru is 13th at 1:23.Still, Froome hasnt fully shaken Yates, Martin and Quintana.I feel that this is going to be the biggest battle of my career, said Froome, who won the Tour in 2013 and 2015. By no means did I expect this to be easy and that I would ride away from everyone. Thhe level is higher.ddddddddddddart of an early breakaway, Dumoulin attacked with 12 kilometers remaining in the 184.5-kilometer (115-mile) leg from Vielha dAran, Spain, to Arcalis in the principality of Andorra.A few days ago if you said I would win maybe the hardest day in the whole Tour de France this year, I would say you were crazy, said Dumoulin, who was sick last week. But sometimes it all comes together and the legs were feeling good today.Im a time trialist so if I have a gap its difficult to close it on me, Dumoulin added.The stage featured five demanding climbs, including an uphill, beyond-category finish in Arcalis.We went through all states, Bardet said. In the valley, the heat was suffocating. Then in the finale it was apocalyptic.On Team Giant-Alpecin, Dumoulin won the opening time trial in this years Giro dItalia and wore the overall leaders pink jersey for six stages before withdrawing midway through the race with saddle sores.He also won two stages in last years Spanish Vuelta.Approaching the finish line Sunday, Dumoulin turned around to make eye contact with his team director in a car behind him and then, on the verge of tears, stuck his tongue out and raised his arms in celebration.Rui Costa, the former world champion from Portugal, crossed second and Rafal Majka of Poland was third, each 38 seconds behind.Contador crashed in each of the opening stages and had already dropped significant time to the other overall favorites. He was in 20th position at the end of Saturdays eighth stage, 3 minutes, 12 seconds behind Froome.It was quite a surprise to hear on the radio that he was in the car, Froome said. Its a shame. Hes a great rider and he would have only added to what is already quite an exciting race.For the second consecutive day, there was an incident involving a spectator. George Bennett of New Zealand knocked down a fan blocking his way while coming around a tight turn.Monday is the races first rest day. Then there is one more stage in the Pyrenees on Tuesday, a 197-kilometer (122-mile) leg from Escaldes-Engordany, Andorra, to Revel, France.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf[url=http://www.authenticwholesalendorra, to Revel, France.---Andrew Da
