Doug's Ding Dong
Doug Mientkiewicz homers off Julien Tavarez to put the Yankees up 3-2 in the bottom of the fourth. Doug is a career .402 slugger, which is bad for any player but particularly for a first baseman. Allowing a home run to Mientkiewicz doesn't make Tavarez look very good. No wonder his ERA is around nine.
Update: Wang returns the favor and allows a two-run homer to Red Sox #9 hitter Alex Cora. I almost picked this game as slugfest of the day, and it's starting to look like that. Cora's career slugging percentage is .347.
