He is a perfect 19-for-19 in save opportunities and is only one of two closers in the majors not to blow a save this season. New York Yankees superstar Mariano Rivera is the other.

HONORABLE MENTION: Morneau 2B - IAN KINSLER If this guy played for the New York Yankees or Boston Red Sox, he would have been a lock to start this game. He still might edge out Dustin Pedroia, but either way, there is no doubt he is the deserving choice. The main table- setter of the Rangers' high-octane offense, Kinsler currently lead |

Jacoby Ellsbury went 3-for-5 and scored for Boston, which pounded out 12 hits to the Yankees' six. Josh Beckett (8-5) allowed thr |

| (Best E Casino) - For an offense that hasn't produced many fireworks lately, a matchup with Josh Beckett might be the last thing the New York Yankees want to see right now. The Boston Red Sox ace will attempt to pitch his team to a second straight victory over the Bronx Bombers when the bitter American League East rivals continue a four-game set with an Independence Day matinee this afternoon at Yankee Stadium. Except for an 18-run outburst in a victory over Texas on Wednesday, the Yankee bats have been close |

That notion may change come September, the next time the Tampa Bay Rays visit Fenway Park for what's shaping up to be a crucial series of meetings. The up-and-coming Rays entered this week's three-game set with Boston owning a half-game edge on the defending world champs for first place |
