""In an era that people love what they [Yankees] do, right? I mean, hit the ball out of the ballpark. And that's the reason they're so good," Cora said. "Where we at right now, we're not doing that. So we have to cash in. We have to make contact when it matters and try to score, of course, as many runs as possible.""
"While New York doled out damage via three home runs on Sunday, the Red Sox only had one offering leave the ballpark - a solo shot from Carlos Narvaez that capped off Boston's six-run start. The rest of Boston's first-running run was generated off of five straight hits against Yankees starter Will Warren, along with two runs scored off a sacrifice fly and ground out."
Boston erupted for six runs in the first inning, highlighted by five consecutive hits off Yankees starter Will Warren and a Carlos Narvaez solo home run that capped the rally. The Red Sox did not score after the opening frame but held the lead as New York produced three home runs later in the game. Boston snapped a three-game losing streak and reduced pressure in the wild-card race. The Red Sox trail New York by 2.5 games for the first wild-card spot, sit one game ahead of Houston, and maintain a three-game cushion over the Rangers.
