Shortly before first pitch Friday, the Red Sox shifted Roman Anthony to the designated hitter role because he was feeling a bit under the weather. He’s not yet 100% but is back in the outfield as Boston looks for its third straight win in a Saturday matinee in the Bronx.
The Yankees offense was overmatched again by Brayan Bello — as well as Aroldis Chapman, who closed out the game in the ninth.
The New York Yankees’ struggles against the Boston Red Sox continued Friday night, as Brayan Bello stifled their lineup in a 1-0 loss at Yankee Stadium. The defeat marked the Yankees’ seventh straight against their rivals and pushed them a half-game behind Boston for the American League’s top wild-card spot.
The Red Sox can't afford to slip up right now, but failed to log a single hit with runners in scoring position in a frustrating loss to the Orioles.
The Boston Red Sox are reportedly finalizing a contract with former Washington Nationals slugger Nathaniel Lowe.
And according to MLB Insider Francys Romero, Chapman has made some personal history over the last nine games. Aroldis Chapman leads all relievers in ERA across MLB with a 1.15 mark. For the first time in his MLB career, he has 9 consecutive games without allowing a hit.
