Phil Hughes pitches against the Red Sox on Friday. (Getty Images)

The Yankees were able to defeat the Red Sox 6-4 on Friday after the Yankees launched five home runs in the game.

Phil Hughes started for the Yankees and he was solid. Hughes allowed 4 runs, 0 earned, on 4 hits in 7 innings of work. He struck out 4 and walked 1.

Jayson Nix contributed tonight with a go-ahead RBI single in the sixth inning.
