DJ LeMahieu homered, Aaron Hicks punched a go-ahead two-run single and Gary Sanchez shut down a rally with his impressive throwing arm as the Yankees renewed their historic rivalry with a 4-1 victory over the Red Sox on Friday evening at Yankee Stadium.
New York’s advantage over Boston in the American League East swelled to 8 1/2 games in front of an energetic crowd of 45,556. LeMahieu put New York on the board with a third-inning RBI double, then slugged his sixth homer of the year in the fifth, a solo shot to right-center field.
