After scoring 4 runs in the first inning, Yankees gave the lead back, tied it up again, but let go of the game after experiencing some RISPFails and allowing a go-ahead HR to Andrelton Simmons. That was an annoying series – lost a starter and two games that were quite winnable. The Yankees still have the division lead but it has shortened to a two-game one after the Red Sox swept the Phillies in Fenway. Let’s recap this game and move on to the next one.
