G142: Yankees 5, Red Sox 1

Xander Bogaerts's fourth-inning single was the 1,000th hit of his career.

Bogaerts is only the third player (along with Tris Speaker and Bobby Doerr) to have 1,000 hits in a Red Sox uniform before turning 27. ... Carl Yastrzemski had 980 career hits when he turned 27 on August 22, 1966. He got his #1,000 hit on September 15, 24 days later.

Also, Bogaerts needs one more double to become the third shortstop in major league history with 30+ home runs and 50+ doubles in a season. Alex Rodriguez was the first, with 36/54 for the 1996 Mariners, and Alex Bregman had 31/51 for the Astros in 2018.
