Masahiro Tanaka, was pummeled by the Red Sox Thursday in a career-worst night as the Red Sox beat up the Yankees 19-3 in the first of a four-game series.
It was the most runs the Yankees have ever allowed to the Red Sox, and the most they have allowed to any team since they gave up 22 to Cleveland in 2009. Tanaka is the first Yankees pitcher to allow 12 runs in a game since Red Ruffing allowed 12 Sept. 2, 1939 at Fenway. He is also the first to allow at least 12 earned runs since Carl Mays allowed 13 on July 17, 1923.
