The Boston Red Sox<\/a> score six runs in the first inning to take the final regular-season game against the New York Yankees<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sox – Yankees Game Summary<\/h3>\n

After a 1-2-3 inning from the Yankees, the Red Sox started the offense off in a big way. Boston started off with five-straight hits, including RBI singles from Alex Bregman<\/a><\/strong> and Nathaniel Lowe<\/a><\/strong>, as well as an RBI double from Romy Gonzalez<\/a><\/strong>. Productive outs from Masataka Yoshida<\/a> <\/strong>and Rob Refsnyder<\/a><\/strong> scored two more.<\/p>\n

Boston wound up with six runs in the first inning, capping it off with a solo home run from Carlos Narvaez<\/a><\/strong>. This six-run cushion gave starter Garrett Crochet<\/a><\/strong> quite the margin of error.<\/p>\n

New York got on the board in the 4th, courtesy of a two-run dinger from Amed Rosario<\/a><\/strong>. After a 1-2-3 inning from Boston, Aaron Judge<\/a><\/strong> got involved, hitting a solo home run, his 48th of the year. Crochet bounced back and ended his outing on a high note after six innings.<\/p>\n

After a groundout from Jazz Chisholm Jr<\/a><\/strong>, Jose Caballero<\/a> <\/strong>knocked one out of\u00a0Fenway, hitting a 423-foot moonshot to bring the game to 6-4 in the 7th\u00a0inning.<\/p>\n

Despite the best efforts of both sides, neither team could muster another run. Aroldis Chapman<\/a><\/strong> came in to shut the door on a Yankee comeback, finishing Caballero off with three triple-digit fastballs.<\/p>\n

What Went Right for the Red Sox<\/h2>\n

Six-Run First Inning<\/h3>\n

Six runs to set the tone were much needed against the Yankees. Especially when New York already took the first two games of the series.<\/p>\n

Bullpen Looked Strong<\/h3>\n

Garrett Whitlock<\/a><\/strong> and Chapman came in for the last two innings and were very good, per usual. Even Steven Matz<\/a><\/strong>, despite the home run, did fine for his role.<\/p>\n

Crochet Weathered the Storm<\/h3>\n

Although giving up three earned runs, Crochet still looked dominant on the bump. His total line: six innings, five hits and three walks, giving up three earned while striking out 12 Yankee hitters.<\/p>\n

What Went Wrong for the Red Sox<\/h2>\n

The Other Eight Innings<\/h3>\n

Despite managing six runs in the first, the Red Sox had a tough time stringing together hits the rest of the game.<\/p>\n

Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n

Boston looks to rebound in their upcoming series against the Athletics<\/a>. No, this isn\u2019t D\u00e9j\u00e0 Vu. This time, the Athletics are coming to Boston\u2019s home field. The Athletics are projected to start Jeffrey Springs<\/a>. The last time he pitched against the Red Sox, he allowed five earned runs in five innings on September 9.<\/p>\n

Boston will also look to get some space from the Houston Astros,<\/a> who are one game behind the Red Sox for second in the AL Wild Card standings. Boston currently sits 2 1\/2 games behind the Yankees for the first Wild Card spot.<\/p>\n
