Rich Hill (7-7-3-0-10, 107) is the first Red Sox pitcher in history to record at least 10 strikeouts in each of his first two career starts for the team.
Travis Shaw went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs in the fifth inning. ... Dustin Pedroia and Xander Bogaerts each had two hits, and X scored twice.
The Yankees - who now trail the Blue Jays by three games - and Mets play tonight at 8 PM.

EliasSports: Rich Hill is 2nd pitcher since 1900 to begin a season with back-to-back 10K starts in September or later (Karl Spooner, 1944).
From John Thorn:
September 20, 1903: A bad day for the Poughkeepsie Giants (Class D Hudson River League) as they drop a quadruple header to Hudson by the scores of 2-1‚ 6-4‚ 3-1‚ and 4-2. This is the only quadrupleheader of the 20th century. For more, see:
