The New York Yankees lost their series opener to the Boston Red Sox, characterized by several errors and a pivotal four-run fifth inning, highlighted by a two-run homer from former Yankee prospect Caleb Durbin. Although the Yankees briefly narrowed the gap, the Red Sox secured the win with two runs in the eighth, surviving a ninth-inning jam from Aroldis Chapman. With three more games in Fenway, the Yankees face questions about their second-half potential and Chapman’s performance. Tonight’s matchup begins at 7:10 p.m. EST, broadcast on YES and NESN.
