Overview

  • Garrett Crochet dominated with seven innings of one-run ball and 11 strikeouts, continuing his AL Cy Young push.
  • New York’s offense has managed just five runs over the first three games of the series after a recent power surge against Tampa Bay.
  • A seven-run ninth off Paul Blackburn, aided by Anthony Volpe’s throwing error for his 17th of the season, turned a 5-1 game into a rout.
  • The Yankees are 1-8 against Boston this year and 4-15 combined versus the Red Sox and Blue Jays, highlighting persistent issues against contenders.
  • Giancarlo Stanton called the record versus Boston “unacceptable,” and Aaron Boone said it “feels real crappy” as Boston goes for a sweep Sunday with Dustin May facing Carlos Rodón.
