The Yankees fell to the Red Sox 8-4 as Carlos Rodón struggled early, giving up a 3-0 lead in the first inning. Rodón managed to settle in, but the damage was done, allowing seven hits, five earned runs, and throwing 109 pitches in his outing. Boston's Cooper Criswell also faced challenges on the mound, but the Yankees couldn't capitalize, despite some offensive production.

Juan Soto's home run and a late rally weren't enough to overcome the deficit, as the Red Sox emerged victorious. Both teams will face off on Sunday Night Baseball to settle the series tie, with Marcus Stroman pitching for the Yankees and Kutter Crawford starting for Boston.
