Overview
- New York beat Boston 4-1 on Wednesday at Fenway Park to push its winning streak to five games and lock up the three-game set.
- Yankees ace Max Fried threw eight scoreless innings with nine strikeouts and three hits allowed, pounding the zone and silencing Boston’s order.
- Amed Rosario supplied the offense with a three-run homer in the first inning and a later sacrifice fly for four RBIs.
- Boston managed five hits and scored with two outs in the ninth, ending a 29-inning scoreless stretch against the Yankees that dated to last year’s Wild Card Series.
- The Red Sox fast-tracked 22-year-old lefty Eduardo Rivera from Double-A and he shined in his debut with 3 1/3 scoreless innings and three strikeouts after Boston optioned Jack Anderson and moved Triston Casas to the 60-day injured list to open a roster spot.
