Red Sox - 002 000 000 - 2 6 0 Yankees - 140 000 00x - 5 8 1Gio Urshela hit his first career grand slam and Aaron Judge homered for a career-high fourth consecutive game. The MFY's last 17 runs have come on dongs.
Facing Zack Godley (3.1-6-5-2-1, 69), the first three Yankees in the second inning singled before Urshela went deep.
Boston got on the board in the third when Andrew Benintendi walked and Kevin Pillar singled, both with one out. Xander Bogaerts doubled in one run and another run scored on Gleyber Torres's error.
The Red Sox (3-6) did not get another hit until the eighth (though they drew two walks along the way). They did not have two baserunners at the same time until there were two outs in the ninth. Jackie Bradley walked and Tzu-Wei Lin singled. Benintendi batted as the tying run, but he went down on strikes.
The White Sox's lineup on Saturday night was the first in major league history with four Cuban-born players in the top four spots. Luis Robert led off, followed by Yoán Moncada, José Abreu, and Yasmani Grandal. Chicago's Eloy Jiménez and Luis Robert both singled, doubled, and homered.
Last night, Atlanta pitcher Chris Martin recorded a save in an 11-10 qwin over the Mets, but he had no idea it was the ninth inning. He was busy walking back to the dugout when someone finally yelled at him. Catcher Travis d'Arnaud: "He thought it was the eighth. I was walking to the mound laughing the whole time and looking at the guys in the dugout. They were all pointing and laughing at him, too."
Benintendi, LFEduardo Rodriguez will not pitch again this season. His heart issues have not abated, but everyone is expecting a full recovery for 2021.
