Derek Jeter hit a bloop two-run double and the bullpen tossed 4 1/3 innings of one-run ball today as the Yankees ended their two-game losing streak with a 6-4 win over the Red Sox.
After this one's first two frames, the Yanks looked to be in for another loss following Shane Greene's (4 2/3 IP, 3 ER) allowing of three trips around the bases in the bottom of the second, but due to the fact that Sox Starter Allen Webster (2 2/3 IP, 4 ER) also struggled in his outing New York was able to rally in the top of the third.
To start things off in the at-bat, Webster walked Martin Prado, Francisco Cervelli, and Brett Gardner to load the bases for the aforementioned Jeter, who connected on a soft double down the right field line to make it 3-2.
Later in the inning, Jacoby Ellsbury and Carlos Beltran would add two more on a groundout and a single, giving the Yanks a lead they'd never lose thanks to a solo homer from Mark Teixeira in the fifth and an RBI Double from Stephen Drew in the seventh.
Yes, after the stretch Boston would cross home on a David Ortiz sac fly, but since Dellin Betances and David Robertson would still get through the last three frames New York did eventually emerge victorious, with Shawn Kelley getting the W after an impressive four-out performance in the fifth and sixth.
