MLB.com: Sox hitting well against Mo Rivera

NEW YORK -- There's no denying it now. The Red Sox have cracked the nearly unsolvable mystery that is Yankees closer Mariano Rivera.

Boston came back on the six-time All-Star yet again on Wednesday, pulling through with a 7-3 victory over the Yankees that would have been considered improbable if not for its recent success against the man who is arguably the most accomplished reliever in the game.

The dramatic comeback in the top of the ninth inning allowed the Sox (1-2) to avoid being swept in their first series of the season.
