EYE-CATCHING
Oft-maligned for his sloppy play in leftfield, Boston's Manny Ramirez zeroed in on a sinking fly ball hit by Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano in a game that New York won 6--2. The Yanks then lost four of their next five—including a sweep at the hands of the Angels—and by week's end had fallen 12 1/2 games behind the first-place Red Sox in the AL East.
