Yankees drop 8th straight, longest losing streak in 28 years

NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees extended a losing streak to eight for the first time since 1995, allowing Justin Turner's ninth-inning, go-ahead double after a key overturned call in a 6-5 defeat to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday.

New York appeared to go ahead in eighth when Isiah Kiner-Falefa scored from first on rookie Anthony Volpe's single. Plate umpire Junior Valentine signaled safe, ruling Kiner-Falefa's left foot got in ahead of Connor Wong's tag, but the call was reversed in a video review, which also upheld that the catcher did not block the plate in violation of rules.
