American League
Bill Mueller hit a three-run shot for one of Boston's four homers and the Red Sox routed the New York Yankees 11-2 Friday night in their first game at Yankee Stadium since last year's thrilling American League championship series.
Kevin Millar, Mark Bellhorn, and Manny Ramirez also homered for the Red Sox, who roughed up Jose Contreras (0-2).
"It was bad. We didn't play well at all," said New York's Derek Jeter, who went 0-for-4 and struck out twice. "It's been a rough beginning for a lot of people."
Derek Lowe (2-1) took a shutout into the seventh for Boston, allowing two runs on six hits over six innings.
After going 1-for-17 in Boston last weekend, Alex Rodriguez had two hits but was booed after a pair of groundouts.
"That's fine, I like it. Maybe it's a little wake-up call," Rodriguez said. "They want to cheer you. You've just got to give them reason to."
The Red Sox have won four of five meetings this season, including three of four at Fenway Park last weekend.
