NEW YORK -- Mark Bellhorn drove in Manny Ramirez in the 12th inning with Boston's third sacrifice fly, and the Red Sox defeated the New York Yankees 3-2 Saturday, improving to 5-1 this season against their bitter rival.
Scott Williamson, Alan Embree, Keith Foulke (1-0) and Mike Timlin held the struggling Yankees offense without a run for six innings, increasing the bullpen's scoreless streak to 222/3 innings and helping Boston drop New York to 8-10.
Alex Rodriguez brought New York to 2-1 with his first homer in pinstripes and helped tie it by sparking a seventh-inning rally with a headfirst into first slide, then scoring on Gary Sheffield's single.
Paul Quantrill (2-1) was the loser, and Derek Jeter went 0-for-5, extending his hitless streak to a career-high 21 at-bats.

Blue Jays 5, Orioles 4, 12 innings
BALTIMORE -- Frank Catalanotto hit a tie-breaking single in the 12th inning.
Chris Woodward led off the 12th by doubling off the left-field wall against Mike DeJean (0-1). Catalanotto followed with a single through the hole at shortstop.
Kerry Ligtenberg (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings for the Blue Jays, off to a franchise-worst 5-12 start. Toronto, which stranded 18 runners, has come from behind in four of its wins.
Toronto manager Carlos Tosca was ejected in the 11th inning by plate umpire Mike Everitt for arguing after Melvin popped up and the ball went off the glove of catcher Kevin Cash. Everitt ruled the ball fair, but the Blue Jays escaped the jam. It was the fourth ejection of Tosca's career.
Miguel Tejada had three hits, including a homer, and two RBIs for the Orioles, who had won seven of eight. Javy Lopez also drove in two runs.
Carlos Delgado and Cash homered for Toronto, which had lost six of seven. Delgado had a season-high four hits.
Lopez's two-out RBI single in the first staked Eric Bedard to a 1-0 lead and Tejada hit a two-run homer off Pat Hentgen in the third.
Bedard was chased in the fourth when Dave Berg hit a run-scoring single and Chris Woodward had an RBI double. Delgado tied it 3-all with a solo homer in the fifth off Rick Bauer.
Lopez hit an RBI single in the bottom half, after Rafael Palmeiro was picked off first, but Cash retied it with a sixth-inning homer.
