“We had some guys put some good swings on balls, just at defenders,” said Red Sox second baseman Christian Arroyo, who came within a few feet of a tying two-run homer in the eighth. In the third, Jake Bauers - getting regular at-bats with Harrison Bader out due to a hamstring injury - leaped at the left field wall to rob Rafael Devers of an extra-base hit and strand Justin Turner at third base. Germán then retired Kiké Hernandez to end the inning. Casas likely would have scored because Gleyber Torres’ relay throw to catcher Kyle Higashioka was up the first-base line. Third base coach Carlos Febles held Tristan Casas at third on Reese McGuire’s two-out double in the third. “Just relying on each other and leaning on each other and picking each other up, every single day.”īoston had runners in every inning against Germán and a trio of relievers but went 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11. “It’s going to take all the guys in this clubhouse,” said Calhoun, who is starting in right field because of Aaron Judge’s toe injury and has five homers and 16 RBI in 122 at-bats. Germán wriggled out of trouble for six innings, Calhoun hit a tiebreaking homer and Kiner-Falafa helped build the insurance run as the Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 3-1 Saturday night to even their three-game weekend series.
Not exactly how the New York Yankees would have designed it, but the piecemeal approach is working for a team missing a few of its biggest players. Middle-of-the-order power hitter Willie Calhoun. Germán, Calhoun, Torres lead Yankees over Red Sox 3-1
