The mood in Fenway Park was white hot as Ryan Dempster struck Alex Rodriguez in the 2nd to draw warnings from the home plate umpire and incense Yankees manager Joe Girardi to the point he was ejected from the remainder of the game. A-Rod would have the last laugh as he later homered and his obvious delight was clear as he rounded the bases to a huge chorus of boo’s and helped the Yankees to a 9 – 6 victory over their bitter rivals. One thing for sure, Rodriguez clearly feeds off the Red Sox intense hatred, helping himself to three hits, two RBI’s and two runs.
