Gerrit Cole's decision to intentionally walk Rafael Devers backfired, contributing to the Yankees' 7-1 defeat against the Boston Red Sox. Devers, who has historically performed well against Cole, capitalized on the walk, helping the Red Sox take control of the game.

The Yankees struggled offensively, going just 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position, while Cole had his first rough outing in nearly two months. The loss ended their three-game winning streak as they prepare for the final game of the series.
