After a relatively low-scoring 4-2 win on Friday night, Saturday’s Yankees-Red Sox game went a little bit more like how last week’s Yankees-Red Sox series went. One team came out and scored runs early while pitching effectively, winning an easy game.
This time, the Yankees flipped the script from last week’s results, pounding out 14 hits in a 9-2 victory over the Red Sox.
Both teams traded home runs early. DJ LeMahieu led off the bottom of the first with a long opposite-field dinger off of Chris Sale, staking the Yankees to a 1-0 lead.
