Now the real test starts

The Yankees swept their two-game series with the Toronto Blue Jays tonight, winning 8-4, but the real test starts tomorrow as the Bombers host the Boston Red Sox for four games. The Yankees are a dismal 0-8 against the BoSox this season, and they need these games not only to keep a two-and-a-half game lead in the American League East but also to shore up their divisional standings in case of a Fall tie-breaker.

Johnny Damon (3-for-5, 3 RBI) and Nick Swisher (2-for-5) both hit home runs tonight to lead New York, and Robinson Cano went 2-for-4.
