New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Post Game Recap

Final Score: Yankees 1 Red Sox 5

The New York Yankees suffered their second straight loss to the Boston Red Sox on Saturday afternoon. The loss moves the Yankees to (79-70) on the season, and they now sit 2.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the final Wild Card spot, as the series in Boston is hurting the Yankees badly.

Once again for the Yankees on Saturday was another poor start from C.C. Sabathia which has become something all to common for them this year, as Sabathia got his 13^th loss of the season, a career-high for Sabathia. After breezing thru the first inning, Sabathia would struggle after that, as in the second inning the Red Sox got on the board with a RBI ground out from Will Middlebrooks. In the third inning the Red Sox would get two more runs across started with a RBI double from David Ortiz, and then later in the inning a RBI base-hit from Johnny Gomes. In the fourth inning it was a two-out single that hurt Sabathia, as Shane Victorino knocked in David Ross. The fifth inning would end up being the last time the Red Sox would score in the game, as Daniel Nava hit a sac-fly to score Mike Napoli making it a 5-1 game. Sabathia would finish going six innings allowing five runs on nine hits and four walks.

Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Post Game Recap

Final Score: Red Sox 2 Yankees 8

The New York Yankees didn’t get off to a good start on Opening Day with their injury depleted team, as the Boston Red Sox handed the Yankees their first loss of the season in convincing fashion.

The Yankees Ace and Opening Day Starter C.C. Sabathia, who is expected to carry the Yankees rotation, did not look good at all in his first start. Sabathia really struggled with his control, and his fastball was lackluster, as he had problems getting it over 91 mph, which made his changeup ineffective with only a five to six mph difference between the two pitches. Sabathia only went five innings, while giving up eight hits, four walks, and four runs, while striking out five in the loss.
