Red Sox hammer Yankees

The New York Yankees' performance against the Boston Red Sox left Giancarlo Stanton and others with little to say.
Stanton helped the Yankees to a 6-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday night. "He was locked in, dialed in," Aaron Judge said.
Stanton and the Yankees will draw Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, who is pitching like a Cy Young candidate this season but has looked vulnerable of late. Over Crochet’s last four starts, he’s allowed four long balls.
After the Yankees were blown out by the Red Sox, star Aaron Judge would send an eager message to the rest of the team.
Giancarlo Stanton has become a great weapon for the Yankees off the bench. He delivered again Wednesday by scalding a pinch-hit home run in the 10th inning of New York's 6-4 win.
So when Ben Rice crushed a solo home run on Thursday night against the Boston Red Sox at Yankee Stadium, it tied the game and one run apiece –– but the Yankees wound up losing 6-3. That cut New York's lead over Boston to just a half game for second place in the American League East Standings, as they trail the Toronto Blue Jays by 4.5 games.
New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge isn't sure when he will return to right field as he continues rehabbing an elbow injury.
