BOSTON -- The Yankees finally got a break from Steve Pearce on Saturday, but the Red Sox still damaged their rivals with some early home runs.
Mitch Moreland smoked a two-run homer in the bottom of the first to break a scoreless tie. And in the fourth, J.D. Martinez took the MLB lead in homers with a solo shot over the Green Monster, his 33rd on the season.
Martinez broke a tie with Indians slugger Jose Ramirez.
Yankees right-hander Chance Adams, who was making his Major League debut, gave up both home runs to put his team in a 3-0 hole.
