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.

The Sox rallied for four runs over the final four innings to take the series opener, 6-3. Roman Anthony homered and drove in three to pace the attack. The rookie is now hitting .286 for the season. Ben Rice went 2-3 with a triple and a home run but it was not enough to offset another outing by the Yankees featuring poor defense - four errors resulting in three unearned runs.
