How a tiny change kept Yankees' Zach Britton from throwing win away

NEW YORK -- It happened once.

Zach Britton wasn't going to let it happen again.

After a crucial error, Britton made sure he did things differently -- changing his grip on the ball -- to finish the ninth inning of a tight 3-2 win over the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday with a double play.

Britton made a bad throw to second base on a comebacker trying to start a double play in the prior at-bat, allowing a run to score.

The throw, on Sam Travis' hard grounder, was thrown too far to second baseman Gleyber Torres' left and it was too low.
