BOSTON — For 3 ¹/u2083 innings Sunday night, the new-and-improved Yankees bullpen delivered just what it was designed to do.
David Robertson, Zach Britton and Dellin Betances didn’t give up a run in relief of Masahiro Tanaka, as the Yankees took a lead in the seventh against the Red Sox looking to avoid a four-game sweep.
But then, Aroldis Chapman entered and torpedoed their effort, giving up three runs — two earned — in the ninth to send the game to extra innings, where the Yankees lost 5-4 in 10.
“Bad outing,” Chapman said through an interpreter of his performance.
