BOSTON — James Paxton was awful, Andrew Cashner smothered the Yankees’ bats for five frames, Gleyber Torres was too cool in the field and, in the eighth inning of a lopsided loss, Luke Voit made a terrible base-running mistake.
Other than those developments, everything went very well for the Yankees inside New England’s living room Friday night against the suddenly revived Red Sox.
A night after the Red Sox punished Masahiro Tanaka, Boston filleted James Paxton on the way to a 10-5 victory that was witnessed by a Fenway Park crowd of 37,095.
