With the first-place Yankees having now lost their last three games against the fourth-place Red Sox, they’ll turn to Carlos Rodón on Saturday.

The defining victory of Boston's season to this point featured a dramatic swing of emotions in the ninth and 10th innings.

In the top of that inning, Anthony Volpe, the Yankees’ automatic runner, was thrown out trying to steal third base with nobody out. He was initially ruled safe at third, but the call was overturned after Boston challenged the play.
