Season series: Boston leads 3-1
Boston rallied for a 5-3 victory in 10 innings in Friday’s opener, covering as a +122 road underdog. DH Masataka Yoshida hit a game-tying, 2-run HR with 2 outs in the top of the 9th to stun the Yankee Stadium crowd. After a New York 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th, Boston SS Ceddanne Rafaela led off the 10th with a 2-run blast — remember each team gets a runner on 2nd in extra innings.
Yankees RF Juan Soto opened the bottom of the 10th with a single, moving the “extra-inning” runner to 3rd, but Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen retired the next 3 batters to finish off Boston’s come-from-behind victory and its 5th straight win. Meanwhile, New York suffered its 4th consecutive loss — which all occurred at home.
