New York's Alex Rodriguez scampers home for one of the Yankees' runs in their 9-5 win on Friday over the Red Sox.

The fans also mocked A-Rod’s antics in Toronto, when he yelled — “Mine!” or “Hah!” depending on whom you believe — at Blue Jays third baseman Howie Clark on an easy popup that then dropped in for a hit. The Yankees earned three runs and Toronto’s ire because of the play.

At Fenway, the crowd berated the Yankees at every infield fly, shouting at Rodriguez as he camped under Drew’s popup short of third base in the second inning. Rodriguez caught it and threw it to a fan as he left the field, but the fan threw it back.

Rodriguez, who was not available for comment after the game, didn’t let it bother him.

He walked in the second and singled in the third. He was nicked by a pitch in the fourth and scored from first on Posada’s double. He also saved a run with the game tied 3-all in the third when he fielded a grounder and threw home to catch Doug Mirabelli in a rundown.

Notes: Youkilis singled in the sixth to extend his hitting streak to 23 games. ... Lowell left after being hit by a pitch on his wrist. Drew went out with a right hamstring strain and was replaced in right field by Wily Mo Pena in the top of the sixth inning. ... Yankees DH Jason Giambi went on the 15-day disabled list with torn tissue in his left foot. The Yankees also sent right-hander Matt DeSalvo to Scranton Wilkes-Barre and called up righty Chris Britton and outfielder Kevin Thompson from the Triple-A club. ... Youkilis had 45 hits in May, second in the AL to the 46 by Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki. He extended his hitting streak to 23 games. ... Wakefield has 17 walks against the Yankees in three starts this season. He has allowed 23 runs in his last four starts after giving up nine runs in his first seven starts.
