NEW YORK — Andrew Abbott took a two-hit shutout into the seventh inning and reliever Fernando Cruz got Aaron Judge to ground into a pivotal double play, pitching the Cincinnati Reds past the struggling New York Yankees 3-2 on Wednesday night.
Noelvi Marte hit a two-run homer and Stuart Fairchild also connected as the Reds handed Carlos Rodón (9-6) his fourth straight loss. They've won consecutive one-run games at Yankee Stadium to ensure their first series victory in almost a month.
Cincinnati was 0-4-2 in its previous six series since taking three of four games against the Chicago Cubs from June 6-9.
