Overview

• Crochet worked seven innings with 11 strikeouts and one run allowed, improving to 14-5 and taking the MLB lead in both innings and strikeouts after surpassing 200 Ks.
• Boston has won eight straight against New York and already holds the head-to-head season-series tiebreaker that would decide a tie in the standings.
• Yankees starter Will Warren was tagged for seven hits and five earned runs in four innings, while New York’s offense managed only a Giancarlo Stanton solo homer off Crochet.
• The game broke open with a seven-run ninth that included Anthony Volpe’s MLB-leading 17th error, a balk, and a two-run homer by Carlos Narváez.
• The blowout followed Brayan Bello’s seven scoreless innings in Friday’s 1-0 win, and the series concludes Sunday night with Dustin May scheduled to face Carlos Rodón.
