The Red Sox defeated the Yankees 12-1, completing an eight-game winning streak against New York. Garrett Crochet worked seven dominant innings, striking out 11, allowing five hits and one earned run on a Giancarlo Stanton solo home run. Trevor Story hit a home run and collected three RBIs, giving Boston a 5-1 lead by the fifth inning. The Yankees struggled against Crochet's pitching until the ninth, when Boston erupted for seven runs. Jarren Duran, Nathaniel Lowe, Ceddanne Rafaela and Roman Anthony drove in runs, and Carlos Narvaez capped the scoring with a two-run homer after a balk.
He completed seven dominant innings, striking out 11 while allowing only five hits and one earned run on a dinky solo shot by Giancarlo Stanton, which Boston responded to with a home run by Trevor Story to take a 5-1 lead in the top of the fifth. After Story's third RBI of the day, I figured the Sox were in a pretty good place for the remainder of the afternoon, considering how feeble New York looked against a nasty Crochet.
And for a while, this was enough, until the ninth inning rolled around and they decided to both pour some more salt in the wound and make the Yankees make a fool of themselves with a seven-run inning to cap it all off. Jarren Duran's first hit of the day drove in Roman Anthony to start things off before frequent hero Nathaniel Lowe grabbed his first RBI of the day, setting up Story to score on a Ceddanne Rafaela single and make it 8-1.
Then, after a tough month and a half, Carlos Narvaez got the last laugh on a sunny afternoon in New York, as Rafaela came in to score on a balk by Paul Blackburn before Narvaez launched a two-run homer on the very next pitch to get us to the final score of 12-1.
