BOSTON — In the opener of a key four-game series between rivals, New York’s pitching staff was no match for a high-powered Boston offensive attack, as the home team won 15-7 at Fenway Park.
The Yankees are now 6.5 games back of the AL East leading Red Sox.
It all began well for the Bombers with a Didi Gregorius three-run home run in the first inning, off of Brian Johnson. Aaron Hicks then added a solo shot in the second to increase the New York lead to 4-0, early on.

Boston finally got on the board in the second, when Mookie Betts walked to bring in a run.
