David Price got shelled last night and an umpire cost the Red Sox the first game of the second series against the Yankees. With another Sunday Night Baseball telecast scheduled for today, Steven Wright delivered what was the best game of his career so far, allowing only one run on three hits and nine innings of work.
The sole Yankees’ run came off as a home run from Brett Gardner in the ninth inning, but the knuckleballer was nothing more than stellar throughout the game.
The Red Sox kept up with their trend of giving the starters and early lead when Dustin Pedroia hit a two-run blast to right-field in the first inning.
