8 takeaways as Alex Verdugo’s walk-off single lifts Red Sox over Yankees

The Red Sox claimed a typically wild win over the Yankees on Saturday, walking off in the bottom of the 10th inning with a 6-5 victory.

Here are the takeaways.

1. Jeter Downs went 0-for-4 in his major-league debut last month before returning to the WooSox. Back in Worcester, Downs started hitting everything — .438/539/1.031 splits with five homers and just six strikeouts, as noted by The Boston Globe’s Alex Speier.

In other words, Downs must have had a wild Saturday. The Red Sox sent out a press release announcing his recall from Worcester at 6:24 p.
