The Red Sox had just two hits in the game against a mid-rotation starter for New York. It’s one thing to knock the A’s around Sacramento like they did last week, but it’ll be harder in the playoffs. This was only one game. The Red Sox might bounce back and score 8 runs on Saturday.

BOSTON (AP) — Aaron Judge hit his 362nd career homer to pass Joe DiMaggio on the Yankees’ all-time list, and Luis Gil pitched six no-hit innings to beat the Boston Red Sox 4-1 on Friday night and help New York expand its edge in the race for home-field advantage in the American League playoffs.

This right-hander won't be eligible to pitch for the Boston Red Sox in the playoffs, but for 2 1/2 weeks, they'll see what he's got.

The Red Sox lead MLB with nine catcher's interferences but it's something they can "live with." Alex Cora explains why.

The 33-year-old only trails Yankees icons Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle and Lou Gehrig on the franchise's all-time home run leaderboard. While Judge passed DiMaggio against the Red Sox on Friday, DiMaggio's final home run of his career also occurred during a matchup with Boston in 1951.

In their loss Wednesday against the Athletics, the Red Sox were a woeful 2-for-16 with runners in scoring position. On Friday night, in the series opener with the New York Yankees, the Red Sox were almost as bad: 0-for-8.
