Game 1 saw Johnny Damon hit a walk off homer in extra innings to give the fans at Fenway something to celebrate.Game 2 saw the (evil) empire strike back as Jim Abbott pitched well enough to win and Steve Farr notched his first save of the year. The Sawx made 4 errors, including 2 by Nomar. Pedro got lit up for 6 runs in 6 innings and was generally ineffective. Dion James went 3 for 4 with 3 RBI's to pace the Bombers.
Game 3 was the home opener up in the Bronx. Manager Ed Mikhli surprised the home faitful by
starting Bob Wickman who gave up 7 runs in 7 innings. Red Sox's starter Tim Wakefield was barely effective himself, but he did notch 6 k's with his dancing kuckler. Many was 4 for 4 with a homer and 4 ribbies. Donnie Baseball was 3 for 5 himself, but the Sox doubled up the Bombers 16-8.
