BOSTON (AP) Didi Gregorius lined a go-ahead single in the 16th inning, and the New York Yankees outlasted the Boston Red Sox 4-1 Saturday in the longest game between the bitter rivals at Fenway Park since 1966.
Matt Holliday hit a tying home run off Craig Kimbrel in the ninth that cleared the Green Monster, and it took 5 hours, 50 minutes and 512 pitches to finish.
The relievers won’t get much rest. The Yankees and the AL East-leading Red Sox are set for a day-night doubleheader Sunday.
Boston starter Chris Sale struck out 13 in 7 2/3 scoreless innings of three-hit ball.
