NEW YORK (AP) - The Red Sox have scratched Josh Beckett from his comeback start Friday against the White Sox at Fenway.
Beckett has been bothered by tingling in two fingers on his pitching hand and hasn't pitched during the Sox nine game road trip.
The Sox say the tingling has not returned but Beckett is not ready to pitch.
Meanwhile, Jason Giambi saved the New York Yankees, coming off the bench to hit a tying homer in the seventh and a
game-winning single in the ninth for a 3-2 victory over the Boston
Red Sox on Thursday.
Desperate to get back in the playoff race, New York salvaged the
finale of a three-game series and won Boston's final regular-season
game at Yankee Stadium.
Mariano Rivera entered a tie game in the eighth and pitched 1
1-3 hitless innings for the win, helping the Yankees overcome
another poor performance by Alex Rodriguez.
