5 takeaways as Yankees use a sloppy 7th inning to roll over Red Sox 9-1

The Red Sox dropped their second straight game to the Yankees on Sunday, falling 9-1.

Here’s what happened.

The big picture

The Red Sox’s offense couldn’t get going throughout most of the game, but the Yankees really pulled away in the seventh inning. Brett Gardner both led off and closed the frame — notching a single in his first appearance and a ground out with the bases loaded in his second.

The Yankees did plenty of damage in between Gardner’s two at-bats, however. Rougned Odor blasted a 418-foot homer that gave the Yankees a 5-0 lead.
