The New York Yankees showed they could beat the Boston Red Sox without Alex Rodriguez in the lineup. They’re hoping they don’t have to do so on consecutive days. The third baseman might be back on the field when the Yankees try to add to their lead in the AL East with another home victory over Boston on Sunday night. Rodriguez was hit in the left leg by a hard ground ball off the bat of Lance Berkman during batting practice Saturday. The three-time AL MVP limped around before falling to the ground with his hands on his face, but X-rays were negative. The Yankees, however, didn’t miss a beat without Rodriguez, beating the Red Sox 5-2 as Ramiro Pena singled and drove in two runs in his place.

The Yankees hope that pain subsides, considering Rodriguez is among baseball’s leaders with 88 RBIs and hitting .324 with two homers and nine RBIs against the Red Sox this season. He had an RBI single in Friday’s 6-3 loss in the opener of this four-game series. New York leads the East by 1 1/2 games over Tampa Bay, while Boston sits six back. The Yankees have won 15 of the last 20 meetings with the Red Sox, going 9-2 at home, but A.J. Burnett has had major problems with them. The right-hander is 0-3 with a 9.40 ERA in six starts against Boston since joining New York before last season. He was hit hard in his most recent matchup, surrendering nine runs and nine hits in 4 1-3 innings of a 9-3 loss in Boston on May 9.
