#RedSox Game Summary (September 18) Not Just Yet

Nathan Eovaldi had a fine game against the New York Yankees, rebounding from the prior bad starts. He pitched 6 scoreless innings, giving up just 2 hits (including a double by Gleyber Torres) and 2 walks with 5 whiffs. He left with a 1 run lead thanks to Ian Kinsler, who singled in the 3rd off Yankee starter JA Happ, reached 2nd on a balk and 3rd on a wild pitch. JD Martinez drove him in with a sacrifice fly. The Red Sox had a 1-0 lead through 6. But once again, the bullpen failed to hold. In the 7th, Brandon Workman walked two and induced a pop-out before being replaced by Ryan Brasier, who surrendered a 3 run no doubter to Neil Walker. The Sox rallied in the 9th, when Yankee closer Zack Britton walked Brock Holt, who went 1st to 3rd on a Yankee fielding error, and scored on another error. But that was all they got. Xander Bogaerts doubled, and JD Martinez tripled in the game, but to no avail. New York beat Boston, 3-2, at Yankee Stadium. The magic number remains at 2. Record: 103-48. Game 151/11.
