The New York Yankees fell to the Boston Red Sox for the second consecutive game on Saturday evening by a score of 7-3. Once again, the Yankees’ offense couldn’t generate any production, failing to score with runners in scoring position multiple times and capitalizing on questionable Boston pitching.
The reality is, Eduardo Rodriguez, the Red Sox starter, entered the game with an ERA above 5.00 and allowed three runs over 5.1 innings, striking out seven Yankee batters. Jameson Taillon offered similar damage, giving up six hits and three runs over the same timeframe.
The bullpen struggled significantly at times, as Chad Green gave up four hits and four earned runs over 0.
