Boston made its first run at the Yankees in the sixth when Warren lost the strike zone after five solid innings. He gave up a leadoff triple by Jarren Duran and then issued three walks around Wilyer Abreu's sacrifice fly, and manager Aaron Boone had seen enough.

2) Red Sox starter Walker Buehler gave up five runs on five hits (two homers) and one walk in a disastrous first inning. He pitched just 2 innings and allowed seven runs (five earned runs), seven hits and two walks while striking out two. He also hit a batter to force in a run with the bases loaded. His ERA jumped to 5.18 ERA.

If they possessed any modicum of momentum stemming from a wild walkoff win Wednesday at Fenway Park, it disappeared shortly after first pitch at Yankee Stadium, with Walker Buehler getting lit up for five runs before recording a third out.

The Boston Red Sox will meet the New York Yankees in the first of a three-game weekend series on Friday. New York (38-23) leads the American League East, while Boston (30-34) is fourth in the division.
