Sunday Sports Update
Top: Boston Red Sox ace Chris Sale (left) looks away as Tyler Austin (right) rounds the bases during the 2nd inning of Saturday's Yankees-Red Sox game at Fenway Park. Austin hit a three-run home run for New York off the American League's Cy Young frontrunner, and Todd Frazier added a solo blast in the 6th inning as the Yankees held on for a 4-3 victory. The Bronx Bombers are now back within four games of the Sox for first place in the AL East. Photos by the Boston Herald and USA Today

Scherzer was placed on the DL after getting scratched from his last scheduled start on Friday. The NL East leaders have had pitching woes for much of the season, but Scherzer has been the one constant -- he has a 12-5 record, a 2.25 ERA, and leads the National League with 220 strikeouts.
