BOSTON — Russell Martin belted two homers to the Monster seats in left and Curtis Granderson and Robinson Cano added two roundtrippers apiece as the Yankees blasted the Red Sox, 9-4, Saturday at Fenway Park. After snapping a six-game, season-opening skid, the Red Sox reverted to more ugliness Saturday as the pitching staff was touched for 13 hits Red Sox pitchers have yielded a major league-leading 19 homers in eight games in falling to 1-7 on the season. Entering Saturday, no MLB team had allowed more than 13. The Yankees, who were paced by three hits apiece from Cano and Eric Chavez, built a 5-1 lead off Red Sox starter Clay Buchholz (0-2). The Red Sox starter allowed five runs – four earned – and eight hits in lasting just 3 2/3 innings. His ERA stands at 7.20. The Red Sox appeared to get themselves back in the game when they scored three off Yankees’ starter Ivan Nova in the fourth, thanks to a Cano bobble on what appeared to be a certain inning-ending double-play grounder by Jacoby Ellsbury. The Red Sox would cut the lead to 5-4 but Granderson drilled a two-run homer off Felix Doubront in the fifth to restore a three-run lead. Dustin Pedroia and Jed Lowrie each had three hits for the Red Sox, who send Josh Beckett to the mound Sunday night in the rubber game against Yankees ace CC Sabathia.
