Wakefield knuckling under

NEW YORK -- Tim Wakefield was all but unhittable over the first six weeks of the season.

Tonight he's been anything but.

The Yankees have touched him for a pair of home runs -- a two-run shot by Alex Rodriguez in the first and a solo blast by Jason Giambi in the second -- and added another run on a two-out, RBI single by Derek Jeter in the second as they jumped out to a 4-0 lead over the Red Sox after two innings tonight at Yankee Stadium.

The Sox, conversely, squandered scoring opportunities in each of their first two shots at Chien-Ming Wang. They stranded two runners in the first, and left the bases loaded in the second when Wang struck out Kevin Youkilis on a 3-and-2 pitch with two outs.
