Jon Couture @joncouture · 6h The only ball that left the infield in the Yankees ninth is the one Tanner Houck threw into left field. #RedSox
Julian McWilliams @byjulianmack · 6h Convinced Tanner Houck has a little Eli Manning in him (cross sports reference). Just has no clue where he’s at — good or bad — ever and is able to wiggle out of the unfathomable. Zero clue how he got out of that.

Tasty moment amid Red Sox’ trick-or-treat season By Dan Shaughnessy Globe Staff,Updated July 15, 2022, 11:40 p.m.
NEW YORK — Take a deep breath and allow me to go Full Rochie on the Red Sox’ chances against the 62-28, first-place New York Yankees this year.
For some reason, the Sox are not afraid of the Yanks. Remember how they beat them in the one-game playoff last October? Remember how they beat them, three games to one in the 2018 ALCS, winning the final game, 16-1?
Remember how they came from behind to beat the Yankees twice last weekend — winning the Fenway finale, 11-6?
They did it again Friday night at Yankee Stadium, beating the Yankees, 5-4, in 11 innings and scoring the winning run when team leader Xander Bogaerts (why not keep him, Chaim?) made a great read and scored from third on a wild pitch that bounced in front of Yankee catcher Jose Trevino.
The Sox also got home runs from Rafael Devers, Christian Vazquez, and Bobby Dalbec.
Yes, Bobby Dalbec.
Boston hits well against the Yankees’ best pitchers, including Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes, and erstwhile closer, Aroldis Chapman, who coughed up the bomb to Dalbec. The Sox even managed to get frustrated Yankee manager Aaron Boone ejected for the second time in two Boston-New York games. The Yanks have lost five of six.
All this is a positive way of looking at a Sox team that’s been dismal in July, and almost hopeless against American League East teams in 2022.
The Red Sox went into Friday night with a 5-12 record since June 27, and an 11-24 mark against the AL East. In 10 series against division opponents this year, the Sox are 0-9-1.
And yet . . . with Nathan Eovaldi, Chris Sale, and Garrett Whitlock (six up, six down, three strikeouts Friday) back from the injured list, how would you feel about the Red Sox vs. the Yankees in a best-of-seven?
Asking for a friend.
The Sox jumped to a quick lead on Jordan Montgomery with four straight batters reaching base to start the game. Unfortunately, Boston failed to score after taking the two-run lead and having men on first and third with nobody out.
With diminished velocity, Eovaldi coughed up the lead in third, surrendering a three-run homer to Giancarlo Stanton. Big Nate had not pitched since June 8 because of back inflammation. Spending multiple weeks on the injured list is an unfortunate part of Eovaldi’s resume. Last year’s All-Star season marked the first time since 2015 that Eovaldi was not on the injured list.
Eovaldi’s injury history and his contract make it likely that he will not be a Red Sox in 2023. Along with Bogaerts, J.D. Martinez, Vazquez, Kike Hernandez, and Jackie Bradley Jr., Eovaldi can leave the Sox for a bigger contract after this season. You can expect most of them to be gone next year. It’s the Tampa Bay Way.
Count this observer as one discouraged by a lack of New England media presence in the Yankee Stadium press box Friday. Only the Globe (three reporters) and MassLive bothered to cover the Sox in this “big” series before the All-Star break. It made me wonder when was the last time only one Boston newspaper covered the Red Sox in New York. Probably never.
Sox-Yankee games were certainly entertaining when they jousted at Fenway last weekend. Boston’s comeback wins in third final two games of that series might have been the highlights of this strange Sox season.
The Cora-men flushed away the feel-good moment by going to the Trop Dome and losing four straight to their Tampa cousins. Boston played some stupendously sloppy baseball in the Citrus Circus Tent, although Cora said Thursday’s 5-4 loss was better than the clown shows we watched Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Bloom-strapped manager went to war with his usual salami-bats at the bottom of his order Friday. Poor Dalbec (.204), JBJ (.206), and Jeter Downs (.200) batted seventh, eighth, and ninth for Boston. The trio went into the game batting .071 (3 for 42) on the road trip. Any of you remember Butch Hobson hitting 30 homers and knocking in 112 runs while spending 142 of his games batting in the bottom three spots in the order?
Dalbec had a good at-bat to end the first, fouling off multiple two-strike pitches before fanning to stand two runners. In the bottom of the second, he watched Matt Carpenter’s one-hop rocket pass between his legs. Incredibly, the ball was scored a base hit. These eyes have never seen a major league “base hit” that skipped between the first baseman’s wickets. Such is the state of modern official scoring. It’s always easier to make two guys (fielder, hitter) happy.
Then came the seventh when Bobby D stepped in against 100-mile-per-hour Chapman and launched a homer to left.
Bogaerts was the hero in the 11th, making a daring dash home on a ball that was boxed around by Trevino. Ryan Brasier clinched it with a 1-2-3 11th.
There is hope for these trick-or-treat Red Sox. They just need to stay in the wild-card group, then take their chances in October against the division-winning, 100-plus win Yankees. In the immortal words of Kevin Garnett, “anything’s possible!’’

Tanner Houck escapes with a “team win” against Yankees By Peter Abraham Globe Staff,Updated July 16, 2022, 12:37 a.m.
NEW YORK — Red Sox closer Tanner Houck needs a nickname after Friday night’s victory against the Yankees.
Houdini Houck? That seems to fit.
Houck escaped a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning then did it again in the 10th. That enabled the Sox to beat the Yankees, 5-4, in a game that was equal parts agonizing and thrilling.
Houck inherited a 4-3 lead in the ninth inning and allowed a leadoff single by Gleyber Torres. He then hit Matt Carpenter with a two-strike fastball.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa tapped a ball back to the mound. Houck had an easy out at third but made a wild throw and the tying run scored.
“It wasn’t perfect,” manager Alex Cora said magnanimously. “I was thinking about all the mistakes over the course of the season.”
Said Houck: “It wasn’t over yet. Had to finish the inning.”
Cora had Aaron Hicks intentionally walked to load the bases. What was he hoping for?
“A triple play, actually,” Cora said.
How about a double play? Houck located a sinker and Jose Trevino grounded into a 5-2-3 twin-killing swiftly turned by Christian Vazquez. DJ LeMahieu followed with a one-hopper back to the mound and Houck this time made a careful throw to first.
The inning, somehow, was over. The sellout crowd of 47,573 at Yankee Stadium, the largest of the season, groaned in frustration.
“It worked out in the end,” Houck said. “Took a step back, took a deep breath. Kind of what I had to do. Thankful for the team to pick me up, back me up.”
Then came the jam in the 10th inning. With one out, and the ghost runner on second Cora had Anthony Rizzo walked to set up a double play. Giancarlo Stanton ruined that with a single to load the bases.
Houck again spotted a sinker and Torres grounded into a double play started by rookie Jeter Downs with a slick flip to Xander Bogaerts.
The Yankees were 2 for 15 with runners in scoring position and left nine men on base.
That gave the Red Sox another chance and Bogaerts scored the go-ahead run on a wild pitch. They’re now 4-4 against the Yankees this season and have been outscored by only three runs.
As well as the 62-28 Yankees have played, it has been an even matchup on the field against the 48-43 Red Sox.
Credit the win to Houck, one of the wildest of his career. It was a credit to his maintaining his composure while in the middle of a storm.
“Control the heart rate. Understand that you have to continue to work, continue to do your thing and not let your emotions overtake you.”
Houck is 1-0 with six saves and a 2.13 ERA in 11 games since he became closer on June 10. It’s not always easy but he has made it work.
“The slider is nasty but the [sinker] is real,” Cora said. “There’s a lot of mishit balls and ground balls. It’s hard to hit the ball in the air against him. That’s the reason I like pitching him late in games.”
There’s been a lot of debate this season about what is the best role for Houck. It seems like he’s found it.
“Going out there in the bullpen, I’m just having fun,” he said. “That’s the biggest thing I’ve tried to do this year along with last year is go out there and have fun no matter what the role is.”
Houck was in the dugout watching when Bogaerts scored the go-ahead run. Then Ryan Brasier got the final three outs for his first save since 2019.
“It’s a great team win,” Houck said.

RED SOX NOTEBOOK Jarren Duran having trouble centering himself for Red Sox By Julian McWilliams Globe Staff,Updated July 15, 2022, 8:21 p.m.
NEW YORK — Jarren Duran is taking his bruises again. Both in the field and at the dish.
Duran, who came up at the start of last month in place of injured center fielder Kiké Hernández, has struggled to find his footing at the position with reads off the bat and on some of his routes.
“Sometimes guys topspin balls. Sometimes they backspin balls,” Duran said before Friday’s 5-4, 11-inning victory over the Yankees. “A lot of people don’t see that because they’re just seeing on the outskirts, and they don’t realize what the ball is doing in the air. It’s easy for them to criticize.
“But it’s just about repetitions and noticing the flight of the ball.”
Duran, who didn’t start Friday, is minus-5 defensive runs saved, tied for fifth-worst among all center fielders despite playing just 187 innings there. His performance led the Sox to put him in right field at Tropicana Field on Thursday and put Jackie Bradley Jr. — a far superior defender — in center.
“He’s been really good to his right. He’s struggled a little bit to his left,” manager Alex Cora said of Duran. “I think decision making, it’s been better compared to last year. So you know, he’s been OK and it’s a work in progress.”
Duran started hot at the plate, hitting .333/.385/.479 in 12 games in June, but is batting just .213 in July. In his last seven games, Duran is 2 for 22 (.091) with 10 strikeouts.
“He’s just late on the fastball,” Cora said. “They’re using more four-seamers in the last two weeks. Every team has their philosophy, and we’re going through that stretch that there’s a lot of four-seamers in the zone and he’s been late.” Garrett Whitlock returns
Garrett Whitlock (right hip inflammation) was reinstated from the injured list, and immediately reminded why he’s a difference maker in the bullpen, throwing two perfect innings to hold a 4-3 lead into the ninth.
“It’s always rough being on the sidelines, not knowing you can’t help or anything like that,” he said before Friday’s win. “So I’m just ready to get back at it.”
After a 4.15 ERA in nine starts and 39 innings, Whitlock — who last pitched June 9 and went on the injured list the next day — returned to the bullpen not due to his performance as a starter, but because he’s more valuable as a reliever on a team that has blown leads in 21 of its first 43 losses.
It blew more both before Whitlock entered in the seventh and after he departed following the eighth, but right from his return he added length to a back end that certainly needs it, joining John Schreiber (who preceded him with 1⅔ innings, pitching for a second straight night) and Tanner Houck (who followed him and worked two critical innings, even while blowing his first save).
“I mean, obviously, everyone knows the talent that’s there,” said Houck. “Everyone sees the pitch mix is elite as well. Having him in there’s going to be obviously a great help and just a great addition to guys that we already have.”
Lefthander Matt Strahm went on the injured list, retroactive to Wednesday, with a left wrist contusion. Trevor Story on Saturday?
Trevor Story (right hand contusion) took infield practice. The Sox are hoping he can play Saturday . . . Hernández (right hip flexor strain) received a platelet-rich plasma injection. The hope is that it will relieve the pain in the area and that he can ramp up baseball activity soon. “He’s seen a lot of doctors and all that stuff,” Cora said. “We’ll see how he reacts and hopefully he can be with us sooner rather than later” . . . Righthander Phillips Valdez was optioned to Triple A Worcester.

Alex Speier @alexspeier · 6h Never seen Brasier throwing that many sliders. Very stubborn inning in which he simply rode the pitch for which he had great feel to a save. Red Sox emptied the tank for a win and got it.
Brasier threw sliders on 11 of 12 pitches (92 percent), the highest usage rate of his career. He had an outing earlier this year against TB where he threw sliders on 9/10 pitches. Otherwise, he’d never used it more than 78 percent of the time in an outing.

Red Sox @ Yankees Saturday, 16th July 2022 7pm @ Boogie Down
Pivetta 8-6/ 4.08
Taillon 9-2/4.01
Slumping Yankees look to rebound against Red Sox FLM
Perhaps the symbol of the current frustration the New York Yankees are experiencing occurred in the ninth inning Friday night when manager Aaron Boone flung his gum after being ejected for arguing a called strike on Matt Carpenter.
Ultimately, the Yankees could not score the tie-breaking run and are mired in their first real slump of the season. They hope to dodge a third straight loss Saturday night in the middle game of a three-game series with the visiting Boston Red Sox.
The Yankees still own the best record in baseball, but the gap between them and the Houston Astros is down to 3 1/2 games. Since its 12-5 win in Boston on July 8, New York is 1-5, with three of those losses to the Red Sox.
The series opened Friday with Boston winning 5-4 when Xander Bogaerts scored on a wild pitch by Michael King with two outs in the 11th inning and two strikes on Bobby Dalbec. King's wild pitch occurred after the Yankees hit into double plays with the bases loaded in the ninth and 10th following Boone's ejection and Gleyber Torres scoring the tying run.
"We've won a lot of games like that," New York's Aaron Judge said after going 0-for-5. "I think we lead the major leagues in comeback wins and walk-off wins and stuff like that. So it's a good ballclub over there, and they got us tonight. We couldn't come up with that big hit and time to get ready for tomorrow."
Giancarlo Stanton hit a three-run homer, but the Yankees struck out 10 times and went 2-for-15 with runners in scoring position.
New York also continued to struggle with its bullpen as the group has allowed 21 runs (16 earned) in 17 innings for an ERA of 8.47 in the past five defeats.
Boston is seeking its fourth straight win over the Yankees after getting a two-run homer from Rafael Devers along with solo homers by Christian Vazquez and Dalbec. Boston's latest win over the Yankees occurred after a frustrating four-game sweep by Tampa Bay, and Friday marked the Red Sox's fifth win in 15 games.
Bogaerts scored the winning run after Tanner Houck allowed the Yankees to tie the score by committing a throwing error on a bunt by Isiah Kiner-Falefa.
"It was a great battle, a lot of good things," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. "Then we made that mistake in the ninth and we ended up winning."
Boston right-hander Nick Pivetta (8-6, 4.08 ERA), who has given up 13 runs and 16 hits over nine innings in his past two starts, will take the mound Saturday. On Sunday, he allowed six runs on eight hits in 3 1/3 innings before the Red Sox rallied for an 11-6 victory over New York.
Pivetta is 0-2 with an 8.50 ERA in five career appearances (four starts) against the Yankees.
Jameson Taillon (9-2, 4.01) will make his second straight start against the Red Sox after tying a season high by allowing six runs on seven hits in five innings in a no-decision Sunday. The right-hander allowed homers to Vazquez, J.D. Martinez and Franchy Cordero.
Since taking a perfect game into the eighth against the Los Angeles Angels on June 2, Taillon is 3-1 with 5.36 ERA in his past seven starts and has allowed nine homers.
He is 2-0 with a 3.03 ERA in five career starts against the Red Sox.

Tom Caron @tomcaron · 8h One of the major issues the Red Sox are dealing with is lack of production from the bottom of the lineup. Sox 7-9 hitters are currently 3-for-42 (.071) on the road trip. #RedSox
Pete Abraham @peteabe · 8h Following up on TC's point, Sox 7-8-9 hitters have a .612 OPS, 23rd in the majors. And 16 HRs, 28th in majors. That's because of the hole at 1st. Every team has 1-2 holes, sometimes more. But you need to confine those holes to the up-the-middle positions. We need Kiki back to fortify the CF/RF platoons, and then need to trade for a 1B.

Xander Bogaerts’ aggressiveness on wild pitch hands Boston Red Sox big win: ‘He has great baseball instincts’ Published: Jul. 16, 2022, 12:30 p.m.
By Chris Cotillo | ccotillo@MassLive.com
NEW YORK -- Xander Bogaerts knew he had to make something happen. After Red Sox closer Tanner Houck had escaped bases-loaded jams in back-to-back innings, Boston’s shortstop wasn’t going to let Friday night’s game go to the bottom of the 11th inning tied.
So Bogaerts, who was on third after entering the 11th as a ghost runner and advancing on a deep Alex Verdugo fly ball, waited for Yankees reliever Michael King to make a mistake. With two outs and an 0-2 count to Bobby Dalbec, King dumped a slider into the dirt. The aggressive Bogaerts saw it bounce forward off catcher Jose Trevino and scored the winning run in a dramatic 5-4 Red Sox win.
“We needed to score there. Let’s put it that way,” said manager Alex Cora. “Understanding who was on the mound and the count, I bet that’s why he was more aggressive with his primary lead. He saw it right away. As soon as the ball bounced, he took off. You’ve got to give him credit.”
Bogaerts’ run was a combination of smarts and luck. He knew that King, who has dominated all season, often relied on a breaking ball in advantageous counts and that there was a chance a slider could get away from Trevino. With Dalbec, who had homered earlier in the game but struggled against righties all season, in an 0-2 count, Bogaerts knew there wasn’t a great chance he’d score on a hit. So he decided to take matters into his own hands. When the ball bounced forward off Trevino instead of behind him as wild pitches usually do, Bogaerts was able to score easily. King’s trot toward home plate was not in time. Enter your email address here to receive the Fenway Rundown email newsletter in your inbox every Wednesday.
“As soon as it bounced, I had a pretty good lead,” Bogaerts said. “If it stayed close close, I might have stayed but I was looking for more of something to the side instead of the back... It’s a tough play to read for the catcher because I feel like the only chance he had was to stay back, let the pitcher come and flip it. But your instinct wants you to go get it and come back. It’s stuff that happens in the moment and if you’re ready for it, you’ve got to take advantage.
“As soon as I saw it bounce, I took a chance and went,” Bogaerts said.
Talk about a winning play from a winning player.
“He’s the complete package,” Cora said. “He has great baseball instincts. For him to take a chance there, obviously, there has to go: primary lead, secondary lead and read the pitch. He was aggressive and we got the run.”
Bogaerts’ aggressiveness sealed a win that the Red Sox almost (literally) threw away. Boston was leading, 4-3, entering the ninth before Houck made a throwing error on a sacrifice bunt that allowed the tying run to score. He then escaped a bases-loaded jam with no outs in the ninth and a bases-loaded jam with one out in the 10th. Ryan Brasier locked things down in the 11th, handing Boston its third straight win over the Yankees while snapping a four-game losing streak.
“We went through a pretty tough couple of losses down in Tampa,” Bogaerts said. “Coming here, we know we played a good series against the Yankees. We lost a couple games but we played really good. Coming in here, obviously it’s pretty tough, the environment and they’re playing pretty good. Taking a win is nice, especially in the first game of the series.”

Game 92: Red Sox have a chance to take a series from the Yankees, plus lineups and notesBy Amin Touri Globe Staff,Updated July 16, 2022, 2 hours ago After Xander Bogaerts’s heads-up baserunning gave the Red Sox a thrilling win in extras on Friday, Boston can clinch the series in the Bronx on Saturday night. The Sox will need a resurgent Nick Pivetta to do so; the righthander is coming off two of his worst starts of the season, having been battered to the tune of 13 earned runs over nine innings by the Rays and Yankees. New York has often given him trouble, with Pivetta sporting an 8.50 ERA in five appearances against this weekend’s opponent. It’s a similar story for Yankees starter Jameson Taillon, who’s had back-to-back rough outings: five earned runs in 5 ⅓ innings against the Pirates, six more allowed at Fenway last Sunday. That was the 30-year-old’s first real blip against the Red Sox, however, as he’s often been successful against Boston. Lineups RED SOX (48-43): 1. Jarren Duran (L) RF 2. Rafael Devers (L) 3B 3. Xander Bogaerts (R) SS 4. J.D. Martinez (R) DH 5. Alex Verdugo (L) LF 6. Christian Vazquez (R) C 7. Franchy Cordero (L) 1B 8. Jackie Bradley Jr. (L) CF 9.

Notes: The Yankees still own the best record in baseball, but the gap between them and the Houston Astros is down to 3 ½ games. Since its 12-5 win in Boston on July 8, New York is 1-5, with three of those losses to the Red Sox ... Boston is seeking its fourth straight win over the Yankees ... Since taking a perfect game into the eighth against the Los Angeles Angels on June 2, Taillon is 3-1 with 5.36 ERA in his past seven starts and has allowed nine homers. He is 2-0 with a 3.03 ERA in five career starts against the Red Sox ... The Sox are tied with the Blue Jays for third in the AL East, 2 ½ games behind the Rays and 14 ½ behind New York.
