NEW YORK — Trevor Story powered the Boston Red Sox to a thrilling 10-7 victory over the New York Yankees on Saturday night, helping to level their weekend series at one game each. Story recorded a total of five RBIs, showcasing his clutch hitting during key moments of the game.
In a pivotal third inning, Story broke open a close contest with a three-run double, giving the Red Sox a 5-3 advantage. The team put together a five-run inning against Yankees starter Ryan Yarbrough, who struggled and allowed eight runs across four frames, raising his season ERA from 2.83 to 4.17. Following a comeback by the Yankees, which narrowed the deficit to 8-7, Story added a two-run single in the ninth, ensuring Boston’s victory.
Garrett Crochet, making his first career start at Yankee Stadium, pitched effectively despite conceding a season-high five runs on six hits over six innings. He struck out nine batters and issued one walk, totaling 32 strikeouts across his last three appearances. The effort helped improve his record to 6-4 for the season.
Aaron Judge, who leads the majors in batting average, had an off night, going 0-for-4 at the plate, causing his average to drop to .390. The Yankees, who are currently atop the American League East, faced their fourth loss in 13 games. Tensions flared when hitting coach James Rowson was ejected in the fourth inning after voicing his frustration over ball and strike calls.
Rookie Kristian Campbell contributed to Boston’s offensive surge with back-to-back RBI singles, marking a crucial part of the Red Sox’s performance as they secured their fifth win in 14 games since losing Alex Bregman to a quadriceps injury. Other notable contributions included an RBI single from Abraham Toro and a two-run homer by Romy González, as Boston excelled with a 7-for-18 performance with runners in scoring position.
For the Yankees, Austin Wells made a significant impact with a three-run homer and an RBI single. They fought back to narrow the score but couldn’t quite close the gap.
