NEW YORK, May 16 (UPI) -- Kevin Youkilis tied the score with a three-run homer and David Ortiz hit a go-ahead shot Sunday in Boston's 7-5 comeback win over the New York Yankees.
The Red Sox trailed 4-1 in the third inning when Youkilis brought Boston even with a clout off Freddy Garcia (2-3) and Ortiz's solo blast in the fifth put the Bosox ahead for good at 5-4.
Ortiz also singled and doubled, going 3-for-5, and Jarrod Saltalamacchia added a solo homer for Boston, which completed a three-game sweep of the Yankees -- its first in New York since 2004.
Jon Lester (5-1) got the win despite allowing four runs on five hits and four walks over six innings.
Jonathan Papelbon picked up his seventh save in the ninth as the Bosox reached the .500 mark for the first time this season at 20-20.
Garcia yielded five runs (four earned) on six hits in a 5 1/3-inning start for the Yankees, who dropped their fifth straight and ninth in 12 games.
Curtis Granderson hit a two-run homer and Andruw Jones added a solo shot for New York.
