The Yankees completed another August sweep of the Red Sox and moved into the AL wild-card lead.
There was a week's worth of highlights during the Yankees' 5-0 victory Thursday: a no-hit bid by Chien-Ming Wang into the seventh inning, a pair of big opposite-field home runs by Robinson Cano off Curt Schilling, and a disputed play involving Alex Rodriguez that led to the ejection of Boston manager Terry Francona.
And then in the ninth, Yankees rookie Joba Chamberlain was tossed following a pair of pitches over Kevin Youkilis' head.
It's not even Labor Day, and already there was late-season passion between these old foes.

Kazuhiro Takeda, Japan's pitching coach in the World Baseball Classic, was on hand to witness Daisuke Matsuzaka's latest outing, a 6 inning, five-run loss against New York Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.
?I saw him pitch and it wasn?t even half of what he could do,? Takeda said through a translator outside Yankee Stadium last night before the second game of the Sox-Yankees series. ?I talked to him earlier. He commented how long the season was over here and he?s getting quite tired, but he?s trying to save himself for later, also.?

Manny Ramirez was not in Boston's starting lineup Wednesday night because of a strained muscle on his left side, and the Red Sox slugger likely will be sidelined for several days.
Ramirez came out of Tuesday night's game against the Yankees in the seventh inning after aggravating the injury. He was examined by two doctors Wednesday and wasn't sure how long he might be out.
"I don't know. Maybe a week?" Ramirez said.
