BOSTON — Rick Porcello looked much more like a Cy Young candidate than Luis Severino on Friday night, and that’s hardly unexpected from the right-hander, who has made a habit out of dominating the Yankees.
In a 4-1 win by the Red Sox at Fenway Park, Porcello allowed just one hit — a third-inning homer to Miguel Andujar — after hitting Brett Gardner to start the game and faced just one batter over the minimum in an 86-pitch gem.
As the Yankees watch the Red Sox seemingly pull away in the AL East, pushing their lead to 7 ½ games, Porcello is a major reason why.
