Here are the takeaways as Josh Donaldson singled in the game-winning run in the bottom of the 11th on Friday to lead the Yankees over the Red Sox 6-5 in their season opener.
The Big Picture
The Red Sox bats were hot early — Kiké Hernández walked, and Rafael Devers blasted a two-run homer to right to start the game. Then Xander Bogaerts singled and scored on J.D. Martinez’s double. The Red Sox had three runs before the Yankees could record an out.
The Yankees got two back in the bottom of the frame on a homer by Anthony Rizzo.
