NEW YORK -- Ryan Hanigan, Travis Shaw and Xander Bogaerts homered off Michael Pineda to back knuckleballer Steven Wright, and the Boston Red Sox opened the second half with a 5-3 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night.Hanigans third-inning homer was his first since last Aug. 19 off Clevelands Corey Kluber, and the ball was caught by reliever Robbie Ross Jr., who stuck out his cap to snag it in the visitors bullpen in left field. Shaw hit a two-run homer in the fifth, and Bogaerts made it 5-0 with a two-run drive in the sixth.Wright (11-5), who began the night with an AL-leading 2.68 ERA, was a first-time All-Star at age 31 but didnt pitch in Tuesday nights game and was moved up in Bostons rotation for the series opener. He retired his first 14 batters before Alex Rodriguez hit a slow hopper the pitcher couldnt come up with on a bare-hand try about 45 feet from the plate on the third base side.New York closed the gap with a three-run sixth, when Wright lost the strike zone. Carlos Beltran had a two-run single, and Brian McCann hit an RBI grounder as first baseman Hanley Ramirez bounced his throw to second, eliminating the possibility of an inning-ending double play.Wright won for the eighth time in nine decisions, allowing three runs and three hits in six innings. Brad Ziegler and Ross followed with an inning apiece, and Koji Uehara finished the four-hitter for his fifth save, his third since closer Craig Kimbrel hurt a knee.Before the game, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said the decision to buy or sell ahead of the Aug. 1 trade deadline likely will be determined by this 10-game homestand. New York (44-45) is under .500 after the All-Star break for the first time since 1995.Pineda (3-9) had his second straight poor performance, looking frustrated as he kicked at the mound after the long balls. He gave up five runs and five hits in five-plus innings, leaving him with a 5.56 ERA and 18 home runs allowed in 18 starts this season.Nathan Eovaldi allowed two hits over 1 1/3 innings in his third relief appearance before his scheduled return to the Yankees rotation Tuesday against Baltimore.IN THE SEATSIndiana Gov. Mike Pence, announced by Donald Trump as his pick for Republican vice presidential nominee, was in the crowd of 47,459, the Yankees fourth home sellout this season.WHAT, ME WORRY?David Ortiz laughed at the notion his comments this week that Boston should sign Edwin Encarnacion to replace him next season could be construed as improper.Tampering? I dont write no paycheck, Ortiz said. I can say whatever I want. Im not a GM or a team owner. If I say tomorrow that I want to play with LeBron James, am I tampering, too?TRAINERS ROOMRed Sox reliever Junichi Tazawa, on the disabled list with a right shoulder impingement, threw a 25-pitch bullpen.

Louisville has suspended offensive coordinator Lonnie Galloway for the teams New Years Eve bowl game because of his role in the Wake Forest play-sharing scandal, Cardinals athletic director Tom Jurich announced Friday.Jurich also said Louisville will accept any disciplinary action the Atlantic Coast Conference deems appropriate.On Wednesday,?Jurich?said in a statement that Wake Forest radio announcer Tommy Elrod called Galloway during the week of the Nov. 12 game between the schools, and that information about Demon Deacons plays was shared.It is clear to me, Jurich said in his Friday statement, that the information should not have been shared by anyone at Wake Forest and it should not have been received by anyone at the University of Louisville.Although no one from Louisville sought the information, once it was provided, we did not do what should have been done. The information should not have been accepted. It should have been rejected and officials at Wake Forest should have been alerted to the inappropriate action taken by Mr. Elrod. ...This is an unusual situation. When someone receives information they should not be given, it is important that they do the right thing. Even in a competitive atmosphere, the right and ethical thing would have been for us to not accept the information. I regret very much that this took place.Wake Forest had concluded that Elrod, a former Demon Deacons player and assistant coach, provided or attempted to provide confidential game preparations to opponents several times beginning in 2014. He has since been fired.?Louisville and Virginia Tech have acknowledged receiving information from Elrod. Army also has been contacted as part of Wake Forests internal investigation, and the military academy said Saturday that it will conduct its own investigation into the allegations.Indiana released a statement Friday afternoon saaying that the school conducted its own review, which did not uncover any evidence that the Hoosiers had obtained confidential or inside information from Wake Forest personnel before their games against the program in 2015 and 2016.ddddddddddddGalloway, Louisvilles first-year coordinator, has known Elrod since 2007, and the two worked together on the Wake Forest staff in 2011 and 12.Wake Forests investigation was launched after a sheet featuring its plays was discovered during a Nov. 11 walk-through at Papa Johns Cardinal Stadium, one day before the Demon Deacons played Louisville there.Lonnie received a call from Elrod during the week of the Wake Forest game, and some information was shared with him that week, Jurich said in Wednesdays statement. Among the communication were a few plays that were sent and then shared with our defensive staff. None of the special plays were run during the course of the game. Our defense regularly prepares for similar formations every week in their normal game plan.Any other information that may have been discussed was nothing that our staff had not already seen while studying Wake Forest in their preparations for the game and the material was not given any further attention.Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said Friday morning on ESPNs Mike & Mike that his team had to adjust its game plan for the Cardinals after discovering the aforementioned sheets. He said that players were upset because they felt they had wasted their effort practicing opponent-specific sets that were discarded once Wake Forest realized the plan had been compromised.Wake Forest will face Temple in the Dec. 27 Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman.Louisville will face LSU in the Dec. 31 Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl.
