The Yankees beat the Red Sox, 4 – 0, behind Roger Clemens. A scary moment occurs in the 9th inning when Boston P Bryce Florie is hit in the face with a line drive off the bat of Ryan Thompson. The Red Sox hurler never loses consciousness and leaves the field with blood streaming down his face. Florie suffers a fractured cheekbone and a fracture of the orbital socket, the bone that surrounds the eye, and retinal damage. He will undergo surgery .

The Astros defeat the Cubs, 13 – 10, as Houston 2B Julio Lugo has the first 5-hit game of his career.
