April 11, 2008: New York Yankees 4 at Boston Red Sox 1 F -- Chien-Ming Wang may never receive the kudos generally lauded upon the game's top hurlers, his high winning percentage overlooked as a result of pitching toward contact instead of the league lead in strikeouts. Yet for those who doubt Wang's status as a so-called true ace, his supporters now have a trademark performance to point to. Wang hurled a two-hitter on Friday in what he called his finest game for the Yankees, defeating the Red Sox, 4-1, in a complete-game effort at Fenway Park. Wang faced the minimum until J.D. Drew connected for a solo homer in the fifth inning, when the ball tipped off Bobby Abreu's glove in right field and landed in the Red Sox's bullpen. Unrattled, Wang cruised the rest of the way, allowing only Coco Crisp's bunt single with two outs in the ninth before finishing his masterpiece.
