Yankees 9, Red Sox 6

 

Personally, I was cheering for the rain that delayed the start of the game to postpone it altogether - preferably to about 2027.

Buehler gave up five runs on two homers in the first, and then two more runs in the second. It's hard for any team to dig themselves out from a hole like that. Boston attempted a comeback with a few HRs of our own (Mayer and Devers) and a smattering of RBIs, but this game was basically over before the third out in the bottom of the first.   

No point in looking at where Boston stands in the rankings relative to first place. The Sox are three games up from last place and five below .500. Oh, the summer of our discontent.

Yankees suck.
