BOSTON — This one hurt.
The Yankees had it all set up for a signature 2016 win Friday night at Fenway Park when Masahiro Tanaka took a two-run lead into the seventh inning.
Dellin Betances and Andrew Miller loomed. One more out was all Tanaka needed to get the game to the Yankees’ dynamic duo.
But Jackie Bradley Jr. lashed a tying two-run double off the Green Monster to electrify the Fenway crowd and end Tanaka’s night.
Even more shocking: Betances gave up a two-run home run to David Ortiz in the eighth, and the Red Sox went on to a 4-2 victory to drop the last-place Yankees to 8-13.
