Banished to the bullpen, Kei Igawa saved the struggling New York Yankees when they desperately needed him.
Igawa shut out the Boston Red Sox for six-plus innings after replacing injured starter Jeff Karstens in the first, and New York snapped a seven-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory Saturday.
Jorge Posada hit a two-run homer off knuckleballer Tim Wakefield (2-3) and Mariano Rivera earned his first save to help the Yankees avoid their first eight-game skid since August 1995.
The slump had owner George Steinbrenner seething in Florida, and it raised questions about manager Joe Torre's job security. But the Yankees (9-13) got what they needed -- a well-pitched game, even though they lost yet another starter to injury.
Swept at Fenway Park last weekend, New York improved to 1-4 this year against its longtime rival and can win the series Sunday with ace Chien-Ming Wang on the mound. Julian Tavarez pitches for the Red Sox.
Rivera, who entered with an uncharacteristic 12.15 ERA in eight appearances, worked a scoreless ninth for his first save in three chances. One of his blown saves came in the series opener at Fenway.
Igawa (2-1) left with two on and none out in the seventh to a standing ovation from the sellout crowd of 55,026. The Yankees spent $46 million to bring him over from Japan in the offseason, but the left-hander was skipped in the rotation this weekend after flopping in his most recent start Monday night at Tampa Bay. He was sent to the bullpen to work on his mechanics with pitching coach Ron Guidry.
Brian Bruney came on in the seventh and got three quick outs to preserve New York's three-run lead. Kyle Farnsworth gave up an RBI single to Mike Lowell in the eighth before getting Coco Crisp on a called third strike.
Crisp slammed his bat and helmet to the ground and was immediately ejected by plate umpire Bruce Froemming.
Rivera allowed a leadoff single to pinch-hitter Jason Varitek before retiring Alex Cora, Julio Lugo (on a fine play by third baseman Alex Rodriguez) and Kevin Youkilis.
Derek Jeter had three hits for the second consecutive game, though the Yankees left 12 runners on base. Boston stranded 10.

MLB HPより抜粋。
The Yankees spoke about needing a solid pitching performance to get them over a seven-game losing streak. They couldn't have anticipated it would come from Kei Igawa, a floundering hurler who'd been relegated to their bullpen days earlier.
Igawa came in under emergency circumstances, taking over for starter Jeff Karstens, who was hit in the right leg by a line drive on his first pitch. Igawa wound up giving the Yankees their best pitching performance in a week, picking up the victory as the Yankees defeated the Red Sox, 3-1, on Saturday.
Julio Lugo ripped a single up the middle on Karstens' first pitch, and the hurler went down, drawing medical attention on the field. Karstens stayed in to pitch to one more batter, but he was lifted after allowing a hit to Kevin Youkilis.
That brought on Igawa, who had originally been scheduled to pitch Saturday but was passed over in the rotation when a rainout presented an option between Igawa -- who struggled Monday against the Rays -- and Karstens.
Igawa responded to the challenge, coming out of the bullpen to deliver six-plus innings of shutout, two-hit ball. The Japanese left-hander walked four but struck out six, providing the Yankees with the strong starting effort they'd spoken about needing desperately to crack out of their skid.
Jorge Posada provided some of the offense against knuckleballer Tim Wakefield in the fourth. Posada slammed his third home run of the season, a two-run shot to right-center, to give the Yankees the lead.
The Yankees caught a break in the sixth as Melky Cabrera's pop to left fell between three Boston fielders and bounced near chalk and into the stands. That allowed Posada to trot home with New York's third run off Wakefield, who scattered five hits and walked six over 5 1/3 innings in a 118-pitch performance.
Brian Bruney pitched a scoreless seventh and Kyle Farnsworth allowed a run on Mike Lowell's RBI single in the eighth before Mariano Rivera set the Red Sox down in the ninth inning, recording his first save.

見る番組がなく、仕方なく、録画放送のＢＳを見ていたら、ヤンキースの先発投手が、初球を脚に当てられ、井川が出たきて、オルティーズを併殺に打ち取り、その後も好投している。ウェブを見ると、６回を無失点で投げきり、勝ち投手になった。レッドソックスの打者がバットを三塁手のロドリゲスまで放ったり、井川が捕手が取れない高い球を投げるなど、久しぶりに野球が面白いと思った。井川はついている。
