The Yankees were able to defeat the Red Sox 4-1 on Sunday night after Ichiro Suzuki launced two home runs.

Hiroki Kuroda started for the Yankees and he was outstanding. Kuroda allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 8 innings of work. He struck out 4 and did not walk a batter. He finished with 112 pitches thrown, in which 75 of them were for strikes.

Ichiro Suzuki led the Yankee offense with his two solo shots to right field. Ichiro homered in the fourth and sixth inning.

Rafael Soriano came on in the ninth and shut the door. He now has 31 saves this season.

The Yankees will begin a three game set with the White Sox tomorrow.
