Yankees come back with three runs in the 10th inning against Red Sox, win 11-8

The Yankees came back with five unanswered runs, three of which came in the tenth inning, against the Red Sox in an 11–8 victory.

These are the main points…

-After scoring three runs in the first inning against Boston’s starting pitcher Cutter Crawfordit looked like the Yankees were headed for an easy win after suffering a heavy loss to the Red Sox on Friday night.

Juan Soto started with his 27th home run of the season, a two-run homer to right-center field that traveled 400 feet. Aaron Rechter followed by an even more impressive 430-foot solo bomb over the Green Monster, sending New York’s top two hitters back-to-back before a single out was recorded.

It was the fifth time this season that the Yankees have won back-to-back games and the third time that Soto and Judge have accomplished that feat.

-However, Marcus Stroman couldn’t hold on. The right-handed pitcher, making his 21st start of the year for New York, served a solo shot to Wilyer Abreu to get Boston on the board in the first inning. The Red Sox followed with two singles before Tyler O’Neill doubled the points to make it 3-3.

-New York took the lead again in the second period Oswaldo Cabrera‘s home run. Abreu did his best to run the ball down, even catching it after it was thrown over the short porch in right field, but he couldn’t get it into his glove.

-But just like in the first inning, Stroman was unable to score an out in the bottom half of the inning after his defense let him down. Anthony Volpe started the inning with an error and Boston followed with two consecutive singles, good for another run. Masataka Yoshida added an RBI single later in the inning, which could have been worse if the Yankees hadn’t turned a double play on a flyout to Trent Grisham who threw out a runner at third base for an outfield assist.

Stroman ended his outing after 3.1 innings, surrendering nine hits and five runs (three earned) with one walk and no strikeouts on 60 pitches (34 strikes). His season ERA rose slightly to 3.64.

-To their credit, the Yankees showed some fighting spirit, tying the game in the fifth and again in the seventh. In the fifth, Judge had his third hit of the night – a run-scoring single to clinch the score Alex Verdugo who doubled to open the frame. In the seventh, Am Rice to make a sacrifice fly.

-But every time New York tied the game, the Red Sox would retake the lead in the bottom half of the inning. That was a recurring theme that night, as the Yankees’ pitching failed to force a shutdown inning.

O’Neill hit his 21st home run in the fifth inning against the right-hander Jake Neven before hitting his 22nd in the seventh with a right-handed swing Michael TonkinTonkin had an outing to forget, as he allowed two doubles, sandwiched between a hit-by-pitch that gave Boston a two-run lead after the home run.

-Judge did his best to get New York back, putting his team on his back with a 4-for-4 night. His final hit came in the eighth inning with the Yankees trailing 8-6 but with runners on first and second and one out. Judge doubled to deep center field to score a run, but Soto ran a stop sign at third base trying to score to tie the game and was gunned down at home on the second out. Austin Wells struck out the ball on the next at bat, ending the inning.

Soto’s decision to try to score was confusing to say the least, with only one out in the inning.

–Kenley Jansen came in the ninth inning and Rice allowed a one-out double to give New York some life. Then, with two outs, Grisham stepped to the plate and after trailing 0-2, he fought back and hit a long double to left-center to tie the game, sending it to extra innings after Clay Holmes pitched a 1-2-3 inning.

-In the 10th inning, the Yankees scored three runs on Wells’ sacrifice fly (after the Red Sox had walked Judge, loading the bases) and Gleyber Torres‘ two-run double high off the wall in center field. Holmes had some traffic on the basepaths in the bottom half of the inning, but ultimately got the win.

Most Valuable Player of the Match: Aaron Judge

Judge was 4 for 4 with a home run, three RBIs, two hits and three runs scored.
