The Red Sox got a fine start from Eduardo Rodriguez, but couldn't back him up with any sort of offense against CC Sabathia.
CC Sabathia entered Thursday night's start against the Red Sox with an ERA of 5.54, but left with six inning of one-run ball, setting up the New York bullpen to secure the series win over Boston in a low-scoring affair.
It was a rough night all-around for Boston's offense. The Red Sox did nothing so much as make CC Sabathia look like, well, the CC Sabathia of old. The closest they even came to threatening him through the first four innings was a walk and a single from Pablo Sandoval and Ryan Hanigan respectively.
