NEW YORK -- The Yankees' troublesome struggles against the Red Sox this season continued Saturday in an ugly 12-1 loss at Yankee Stadium that began with Cy Young candidate Garrett Crochet shutting them down over seven innings and ended with them hearing boos from the home crowd during a disastrous seven-run ninth inning.
It was the Yankees' eighth straight defeat at the hands of their rivals this season. Overall, the Yankees are 1-8 against Boston this season. Add their 3-7 record against the first-place Toronto Blue Jays and the Yankees are 4-15 against the top two teams in the American League East.
