New York, has spent a lot of time since the red socks had a left -hander to take a left -handed confrontation with the Yankees.
The Red Sox won 10-7 on Saturday.
In the fashion of classical rivalry, it was more a messy pull than a confrontation.
“I said:” Bro, I have seen that game many times, “said Manager Alex Cora, transmitting a conversation he had with Alex Bregman.” As yesterday, right? Like 8-1 and here we go again, and we move and get it close, second and third, one in the seventh … just looking today and listening, you know, at one time we could hear the Pitchcom and all that.
“Then people enjoy it, you know, that is the reason we play at 7:30 tonight and we will play at 7 am, regardless of where we are,” added Cora, referring to the consecutive national broadcasts of weekends in Fox Sports and D.
Garrett Crochet threw five races won in the season in six hits in six tickets with the reverse. A walk is broadcast, struck out nine and was accused of a beam. Laning 97 pitches, 67 for strikes, induced 15 swings and false, issued a walk, was accused of a beam and struck out nine.
Crochet said that he felt well to obtain his “feet law” in his first rivalry game with extras, which was also his first race again to the Yankees, but he was not satisfied with his own results, especially the length or excursion.
“Outside you you know, three or four releases, I felt that my line does not reflect how I threw the ball tonight,” said the head of the Sox. “However, six entries is the minimum of the bar, you know? … Usually, I have been able to get out of the jam with runners in the annotation position, no longer, I no longer knew. I launched the boys a little more or a Breather.”
“That is the full part (expletive) of my work,” Crochet said. “Put the team in a position to win, so it doesn’t really mean anything more than I should. That’s just doing my job.”
The nine crochet blows included three of Aaron Judge, who is still hitting .390 with an OPS of 1,234 after going 0 by 4 in the contest. It was only the third time that the Yankees captain was left without success with three or more strikeouts this season.
“You don’t see that,” Cora said on the night of three strokes of 0 by Judge. “It’s a challenge for everyone at this time. It’s at the top of the world … I don’t know if I’m right, but try last year of the World Series, son of, you know, he pushed it is a bone, what bone? Have you been?
The SOX pattern suggested that Judge’s incredible season can be partially motivated by wanting to show that he can lead the Yankees without Juan Soto, who signed a record contract with the rival Mets of Crosstown in December.
“Many people thought or this wrong idea that his year last year was because Juan was here,” said Cora.
Crochet has now struggled 32 batters about its last three openings; According to the MLB Sarah, he is the first Red Sox pitcher in attacking at least 30 batters on a period of three games from Chris Sale and Eduardo Rodríguez in the ’19, and the youngest pitcher in the club to do it from Jon Lester in 2009.
It was good enough for crochet, which needed 10 releases to overcome a 1-2-3 first, which was reserved with a couple or strikeouts to take the Paul Goldschmidt and judge man. The bottom of the third was in the same way.
But launch with a leadership of a race and thanks to the first RBI of Kristian Campbell since May 26 at the bottom of the second, the crochet was knotted. The cooling of an initial single to Cody Bellinger, who stole the second after Jasson Domínguez hit the appearance and third, while DJ Lemahieu worked a walk. The tenth homer of the year of Austin Wells was far enough, 343 feet to the short porch for a 3-1 advantage in the Yankees.
It was the only advantage of the Yankees. The second time his teammates gave him an advantage, the crochet endured, also when the lower two thirds of the Yankees alignment hit him again in the room.
“The us us what we needed, forget the line,” said Cora. “There were some defensive works we did, we put it in a bad place … we needed six, independently. We will take it.”
Ryan Yarbrough had triumphed in his three exits against the Red Sox last season, but those were appearances of relief with the Dodgers of Los Angeles and Toronto Blue Jays.
The beginnings were another story. Yarbrough entered Saturday with an effectiveness of 7.68 in the nine openings against the red socks, with 37 races won with 56 hits and only 27 strikeouts in 43.1 tickets. All these games were with another division rival, the Rays of Tampa Bay, between 2018-21. Yarbrough’s last beginning against Boston was on September 6, 2021, a seven -run blow in which only two entries lasted.
A very different picture of Boston batters approached the plate four seasons later, but the final result was equally productive: they tormented Yarbrough in a first to the eight races won in nine Homy or Gony Gonzoning, in Yhanding, in Jéuding, in Jehandering, in Jary Innings. He issued two walks, hit a batter and only struck out three.
For the time 28 this season, the Red Sox obtained first. They jumped to an early 1-0 advantage in the second, and recovered the advantage with a top of five races of the third in which Yarbrough faced the entire alignment and forced the reliefs of the beginning to begin to warm up in the Bullpen of the Yankees.
Unfortunately for the red socks, Yarbrough’s beginning of silver was approximately after the room and the Yankees bullpen was not so generous. Yerry de los Santos threw a hit and two walks, but prevented Boston from joining his three work tickets, and Mark Leiter Jr. threw an eighth without goals.
These wasted opportunities proved to be expensive at the bottom of the eighth when Justin Wilson, which has been so reliable for Boston, became the last reliever of the Red Sox to fight. After allowing only a race won in 15 appearances that date back to April 26, Wilson cools two races won.
That Ceddanne Rafaela threw home instead of the cut -off man, for the second time this week, when Ben Rice connected a single to the driving center in both races, did not help things. These defensive decisions are not registered as errors, but they still hurt the red socks at crucial moments. (The red socks also lead MLB in errors).
Boston’s two digit annotation night was largely due to two of the coldest batters in the club: Campbell was 2 by 3 with a couple of batted races, and Trevor Story, who delivered twice when the loaded bases occurred. In the third, the fifth double the year of history cleared the bases and resumed the leadership of the Red Sox. After the Yankees put themselves in a race in the eighth, the two -run of Story gave Boston that he breathes the very necessary.
“Huge. Very important to him,” Cora on Campbell said. “Today was a great day for him.”
In total, the red socks annulled 14 hits, twice as their rivals, and were 7 by 18 with runners in punctuation position.
“Credit to the boys who put themselves at the base ahead, gathering very good in spin against some good pitchers,” Story said. “It always feels good to cross men at the base and I feel that this is what we lose a little of our legs.”
Aroldis Chapman, who spent seven seasons in pintipes, closed the victory for the red socks with a ninth 1-2-3.
While some of their teammates have voices about their eagerness to participate in the rivalry of the famous Red Sox-Yankes, Crochet saw the weekend differently.
“It’s good power, you know, get a victory against a division opponent,” he said. “But I mean, rivalry, you know, it is for fans … we are trying to win every game.”
