Yankees 13, Red Sox 3: Welcome to the show, rook!

The Yankees ride a big seventh inning and give highly touted Red Sox prospect Henry Owens his first of the majors - oh, and his first loss, too.

The Yankees returned from their successful road trip to once again face their old nemesis, the Boston Red Sox. And boy, was tonight a good night to be a Yankees fan. Masahiro Tanaka, definitively the ace of the staff with Michael Pineda sidelined until September, faced off in the Bronx tonight against Henry Owens. Owens was a first round pick in 2011, and has been one of the Red Sox top prospects over the last couple seasons, cracking the top five in both MLB's Red Sox rankings and Minor League Ball's preseason Red Sox rankings.
