David Ortiz strikes again to beat Yankees with late home run

BOSTON -- All these years later, David Ortiz still haunts the New York Yankees.

In the first Boston Red Sox-Yankees game of his final season, Ortiz cracked a two-run homer in the eighth inning against usually dominant reliever Dellin Betances to fuel a come-from-behind 4-2 victory Friday night at Fenway Park.

It was the marquee matchup of the night, pitting power against power. Betances hadn't given up an earned run this season until this week when he allowed a solo homer to Texas Rangers catcher Brett Nicholas.
