BOSTON (AP) — Alex Verdugo had a two-run homer and four RBIs in his return to Fenway Park, and Luis Gil struck out six as the MLB-leading New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 8-1 on Friday night.
Verdugo spent four seasons with the Red Sox before being traded to New York in December in a rare deal between the AL East division rivals.
“To come over here, do what we did as a team and obviously the swing that I put on in the first to give us the lead, it was a big moment,” Verdugo said.
