YANKEES RED SOX FIRST PITCH SERIES

The Sox also designated relief pitcher Chris Murphy as the 27th man for the doubleheader, and he was able to pitch 2 2/3 innings where he struck out three and allowed a double to Jake Bauers.

Ort’s start was not bad, but if he stays in the majors he’s likely to stay in the bullpen. He also struck out 4 batters and gave up the only walk that the whole pitching staff gave in the whole game which was to right fielder Billy McKinney. He went 2 1/3 innings where he allowed the only scoring that the Yankees had in the 1st inning which was a 2-run homer from Gleyber Torres. It was a short start as would be expected as Ort has been a career reliever so for the Red Sox. In response, the Sox recalled Kaleb Ort and had him make his first MLB start. Red Sox pitching staff carried the torch in both gamesĪfter Tanner Houck got injured on the line drive in Friday’s contest, he was put on the 15-day Injured List. This is the first time the Red Sox had swept a doubleheader against the Yankees since September 17, 2006, at Yankee Stadium and in Fenway Park since July 31, 1976. Outside of that the Sox have been wildly inconsistent especially recently, and their defense was one of the causes of the mess.īut remember this is a Yankees squad without Aaron Judge, so the Sox have been taking advantage of the loss that the Yankees have, especially the pitching staff used in today’s doubleheader.
