Recap by Assoicated Press:BOSTON -- The Red Sox stressed run prevention as they built their team for this season. Then it began and they won with run production.
Kevin Youkilis had three extra-base hits, Dustin Pedroia hit a two-run homer and three new starters had big nights with the bat as Boston rallied to beat the defending champion New York Yankees 9-7 in the major league opener Sunday night.
"We all have faith in ourselves," said Youkilis, who scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball in the seventh inning. "It's good to get a win opening night. It's good for the city. It's good for the fans. It's good for the players. It's good for everyone. ... But it's still just one game."
Yankees manager Joe Girardi had little doubt the Red Sox could hit.
