BOSTON -- The blasts soared through the air to create a deafening buzz at Fenway Park. The first one landed deep into the Monster Seats. The second one went over everything and onto Lansdowne Street. And the third one hit one of the light stanchions above the Monster.
That was one prodigious display of hitting that Steve Pearce delivered in what could best be described as a 15-7 thrashing by the Red Sox over the Yankees on Thursday night.
It was the first time a Boston player has smashed three homers in a game against the Yankees since Kevin Millar did it on July 23, 2004.
