It was on July 7 vs. the Yankees where, in primetime, Pedro Ciriaco had his coming out party.

Just as the PawSox were checking into their hotel Sunday night in Rochester prior to a series against the Yankees’ Triple-A club, Ciriaco came through again for the Red Sox against their biggest rivals.

A tenth inning bloop RBI single by Ciriaco propelled the Red Sox Sunday night to a 3–2 win at Yankee Stadium, and a series win.

In five games against New York this year, Ciriaco is batting .500 (11-for-22) with six runs batted in, two doubles, and a triple. In the Red Sox latest two wins against the Yankees, it was Ciriaco who hit the go-ahead RBI in the ninth and tenth innings to secure the win.

For all the struggles the Red Sox have had this year, #77 has made for some fun times.
