Boston routed New York 12-1, scoring seven runs in the ninth to complete a three-game sweep and take an 8-1 season-series lead. The Yankees committed a string of fundamental errors late: shortstop Anthony Vole made a diving stop but airmailed the throw to first, allowing a run; pitcher Paul Blackburn was called for a balk when first baseman Ben Rice failed to cover; and Carlos Narvaez hit a two-run homer that capped the rally. The bullpen and defense collapsed in the final innings, and broadcasters publicly criticized the team's performance during the ninth inning.

This game has just snowballed. [Garrett] Crochet was the thing you had to get through and he was just too good. But then, the Yankees have absolutely fallen apart here in the last couple of innings.
Quite frankly, the Yankees are getting schooled by the Red Sox on this Saturday afternoon in the Bronx,
