After seven innings that could only be generously described as lifeless, the Yankees staged a comeback in the eighth and escaped with a 4-3 win over the Red Sox on Saturday afternoon in Fenway Park. A very good start from Jameson Taillon and some clutch (and fortuitous) hits from Brett Gardner, Giancarlo Stanton, Rougned Odor, and Gleyber Torres in a four-run eighth inning led to the win. Despite matters looking bleak for most of the afternoon, the Yankees can now salvage a split from the four-game series tomorrow at Fenway.
Yankee fans got a pretty bad vibe after just one Red Sox batter came to the plate.
