"Shane Smith only gave up three hits in 6 1/3 innings. But two of them were long balls by Aaron Judge (420 feet, because of course) and Austin Wells, enough offense to carry the Yankees through to the 11th. Meanwhile, Cam Schlittler allowed only four singles in his six innings of work, the one that mattered stroked by Mike Tauchman in the fifth after Schlittler had hit Curtis Mead on the hand and Mead went to second on a smash back to the mound by Brooks Baldwin."
"In the 11th, Tyler Alexander couldn't get much of anybody out as the Yankees put together three hits (a couple of them kind of cheap, but hits naytheless) and a walk for three runs. In the bottom half, the Sox politely went down 1-2-3, only scoring a run on a ground out because the defense didn't care. That's seven wins in a row for the Yankees, five losses in a row for the Sox, who are now 48-88, still on pace for 105 losses."
Two rookie righties dueled early, with Shane Smith allowing three hits in 6 1/3 innings and Cam Schlittler yielding four singles in six innings. Aaron Judge and Austin Wells hit long home runs that provided the Yankees enough offense to reach extra innings. The Red Sox repeatedly failed with runners in scoring position, going 2-for-15, and squandered late opportunities in the 10th. In the 11th, the Yankees put together multiple hits and a walk off Tyler Alexander to score three runs. The Yankees’ streak reached seven wins while the Red Sox dropped five straight and fell to 48-88, on pace for 105 losses.
