New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Post Game Recap

Final Score: Yankees 2 Red Sox 9

The New York Yankees suffered a very bad sweep at the hands of the Boston Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball, as they got blown out in the final game of the season against Boston. The loss moves the Yankees to (79-71) on the season, and are now three games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot.

Red Sox Starter Clay Buchholz having his best season of his career, kept that going against the Yankees on Sunday night, as he earned his 11^th win of the season. The Yankees only got one run off of Buchholz, as in the first inning a error by Buchholz allowed Granderson to Third Base, and then he was knocked in with an RBI ground out by Rodriguez. Buchholz finished going six innings allowing just the one unearned run on two hits and four walks.

Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Post Game Recap

Final Score: Red Sox 3 Yankees 0

In the rain shortened game on Sunday Night Baseball the Yankees lost to the Red Sox by a score of 3-0 in six innings. The loss moves the Yankees to (31-25) on the season, and are now are three games back of the Red Sox in the division. A 45 minute rain delay when it never rained pushed the start time back, and may have cost the teams a chance to play a full game.

Yankees Starter Hiroki Kuroda suffered his fourth loss of the season even though he didn’t pitch bad, but he wasn’t on his “A” game. Kuroda pitched three scoreless innings before the Red Sox finally got on the board, as a Mike Napoli ground out scored Dustin Pedroia for the first run of the game. In the next inning Jose Iglesias hit his first homerun of the season, which was a solo-home run. David Ortiz scored the final run of the game before the rain started to really come down, as Big Papi hit a solo-home run, which was his 10^th of the season, and like always did his bat flip afterward. Kuroda's final line was 5.1 innings pitched, while allowing three runs on eight hits in the loss.

Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Post Game Recap

Final Score: Red Sox 7 Yankees 4

The New York Yankees were unable to avenge their Opening Day loss to the Red Sox, as the Bronx Bombers lost for the second straight game on Wednesday against their arch rivals.

Hiroki Kuroda’s first start of the season went almost as bad as one could imagine, as he only pitched 1.1 innings due to try to bare hand a line drive from Shane Victorino in the second inning, which forced him to leave the game. Kuroda’s final line was 1.1 innings pitched, as he gave up four hits, one walk, and two earned runs. There is no word yet on how bad Kuroda’s pitching hand it hurt, but taking a line drive off a bare hand can’t feel very good.
