Rookie Roman Anthony had an unforgettable night at Yankee Stadium, hitting a two-run homer in the ninth inning and driving in three runs in total, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 6-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Anthony, who had previously driven in a run with a single in the sixth inning, hit his fifth career home run against Yerry De Los Santos, after first baseman Paul Goldschmidt committed the Yankees’ fourth error of the game.<\/p>\n
Nathaniel Lowe also contributed to the triumph with a run-scoring double in the seventh inning against Luke Weaver, giving Boston a 4-3 lead.<\/p>\n
Anthony became the fourth Red Sox rookie to hit a home run against the Yankees this season, joining Marcelo Mayer, Kristian Campbell, and Carlos Narv\u00e1ez. This is the most rookie home runs by the Red Sox against the Yankees in a season since 2014.<\/p>\n
Despite struggling with runners in scoring position, the Red Sox managed to snap a three-game losing streak and moved within one game of the Yankees in the race for the top American League Wild Card spot.<\/p>\n
The Red Sox have won six consecutive games against New York, their longest winning streak in the rivalry since 2023, when they won seven.<\/p>\n
Ceddanne Rafaela scored Boston’s first run thanks to a throwing error by catcher Ben Rice.<\/p>\n
For the Yankees, Rice hit a home run and Goldschmidt drove in a run with a single.<\/p>\n
Boston’s opener, Lucas Giolito, allowed three runs and five hits in 4 2\/3 innings. The Red Sox bullpen combined to pitch 5 1\/3 scoreless innings, including Greg Weissert, who allowed just one hit in 1 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Yankees’ opener Luis Gil allowed two runs (one earned) and four hits in five innings, with five walks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
