BOSTON (AP) — Derek Jeter had a two-run double, Mark Teixeira hit a solo homer and New York’s bullpen worked 4/1-3 solid innings, leading the Yankees to a 6-4 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.

Stephen Drew, acquired from the Red Sox on Thursday, added an RBI double as the Yankees won for just the second time in six games.

Mike Napoli had a two-run homer for the Red Sox, who won the series opener but have dropped nine of 11.

Yoenis Cespedes, acquired from Oakland before Thursday’s non-waiver trade deadline for left-hander Jon Lester and outfielder Jonny Gomes, made his Red Sox debut and went 1 for 4 with a single.

Shawn Kelley (2-3) pitched 1 1-3 innings of hitless relief for the win and David Robertson got the final three outs for his 28th save. Four Yankees relievers held the Red Sox to one run.

Allen Webster (1-1) couldn’t overcome his wildness and was pulled after giving up four runs. He walked six, fanned one and allowed two hits in 2 2-3 innings.

New York starter Shane Greene was lifted with two on and two outs in the fifth before he could qualify for the win. He gave up six hits and three runs, striking out five and walking two.

Trailing 3-0 in the third, the Yankees capitalized on five walks by Webster to score the four runs on two hits. Jeter sliced a drive down the right-field line for his double, Carlos Beltran had an RBI single and Jacoby Ellsbury a run-scoring grounder. Webster was lifted with the bases loaded, but Burke Badenhop got Martin Prado to ground out.

Teixeira’s homer cleared the Green Monster seats to make it 5-3 in the fifth. Drew doubled in the seventh.

Boston had taken a 3-0 lead on Napoli’s homer and Christian Vazquez’s RBI single.

Trainer’s room

Yankees: RHP Michael Pineda is scheduled to throw around 65 pitches Sunday in a rehab outing at Triple A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Beltran hasn’t played in the field since July 5 due to a bone spur in his right elbow, and the acquisition of Prado at the deadline means he will likely stay at DH indefinitely.

Red Sox: Catcher David Ross was placed on the 15-day disabled list with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. Manager John Farrell said outfielder Shane Victorino, on the 15-day DL with a strained lower back, is expected to see an orthopedic surgeon in Los Angeles early this week. Infielder Kelly Johnson is expected to play two rehab games later this week.

On deck

Yankees: Right-hander David Phelps (5-5, 3.89 ERA) is coming off his worst start in over a month when he faces Boston in the series finale Sunday night.

Red Sox: Right-hander Clay Buchholz (5-7, 5.87 ERA) looks to rebound from consecutive losses after giving up 11 runs over 11 innings.

Trading places

Good friends Johnson and Drew didn’t just get swapped for each other. They swapped a uniform number, locker and maybe living places, too.

“It’s bizarre. After it happened we were texting each other,” said Johnson, who now occupies Drew’s old locker in Boston’s clubhouse. “I ended up going over his place, seeing his wife and kids. My family is in town. We played together in Arizona. But we might just make a clean trade, you know, places, numbers, everything.” But Drew can’t get No. 7 with New York. It’s retired and was worn by Mickey Mantle.

Mental lapse

Drew wandered off second and was walking toward the dugout when Francisco Cervelli swung and missed. Problem was: it was only the second strike. He was tagged out trying to dive back to second for the final out.
