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 10th 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.
