NEW YORK -- Although they may not have much experience competing against the Red Sox, the Yankees' young talent stepped up early in the series opener of the renewed rivalry Friday night.
After a sacrifice fly by Gleyber Torres scored a run in the bottom of the fourth inning, Miguel Andujar launched a two-run shot to left for the rookie's 12th home run of the year. Just six pitches later, Greg Bird launched his own long ball to left, going back to back with Andujar to give the Yankees a 5-0 lead.
