It took the Yankees 25 outs to score against Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet on Friday night before they ultimately lost on a walk-off hit in extra innings. On Saturday, they never broke through against starter Hunter Dobbins.

Mayer’s home run is the lone positive for Boston so far in this game. The Sox trail 8-1 in the sixth inning. The Yankees pounded starter Walker Buehler for seven runs (five earned), seven hits, two homers and two walks in the first two innings.

The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees will meet for the third night in a row on Sunday Night Baseball for a decisive game three at Yankee Stadium.
