Yankees.com: Missed opportunities haunt Yankees

Play this game in any other ballpark, Didi Gregorius said, and the Yankees would be the ones celebrating. You didn’t need a tape measure to figure out that his good wood, ninth-inning drive would have powered a grand slam back in the Bronx.
No lead seems safe at Fenway Park either, but the forgiving right-field dimensions helped the Red Sox this time. Gregorius’ fly ball died on the warning track, allowing the erratic Jean Machi to close out a 4-3 victory on a night of missed opportunities for the Yankees.
