With one sweet swing, Alex Rodriguez tied Willie Mays for fourth place in major league history at 660 home runs. Rodriguez jogged around the bases on the pinch-hit shot that broke an eighth-inning tie and lifted the Yankees to a 3-2 win over the Boston Red Sox on Friday night. ''It's good to do it in a good team win.'' Yankees manager Joe Girardi left Rodriguez out of the starting lineup to rest, but sent him up to bat for Garrett Jones with one out in the eighth. Mays saluted Rodriguez in a statement released by the San Francisco Giants.
