Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Post
Game Recap
Final Score: Red Sox 3 Yankees 4
The New York Yankees were able to avoid
the sweep at home against the Boston Red Sox on Sunday afternoon,
which would’ve been a heart-breaking weekend for the Bronx Bombers.
The win moves the Yankees to (76-67), which is 2.5 games behind the
Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot.
Hiroki Kuroda looked like he was back
to his form of about a month ago on Sunday, as he gave the Yankees a
very good start in a game they desperately needed. The Red Sox would
get a couple runs off of Kuroda however though, as in the second
inning Mike Carp hit a double to score David Ortiz for the first run
of the game. In the sixth inning the Red Sox would get their final
run off of Kuroda, as Jarrod Saltalamacchia would hit a sac-fly to
score Ortiz. Kuroda would go six innings allowing just two runs on
five hits and two walks, while striking out six batters, and leaving
the game in line for a win.
