The rivalry between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees lived this August 19 uneven duel of 8 to 1, with Boston winning.
Luis Urías was one of the main architects of his team’s victory, hitting a grand slam in the second inning of the match.
Urías became the second Red Sox player in history to hit back-to-back grand slams in games played, joining Jimmie Foxx in 1940.
Another standout player for the Boston Red Sox was Rafael Devers, who had a home run and three hits in five at-bats.
Devers became the 1st Boston player to achieve two consecutive 3-hit games at Yankee Stadium since Edgar Renteria (May/2005).
The Boston Red Sox season has been marked by their ability to hit grand slams, having hit 8 so far this year, which puts them in third place in MLB, after the Dodgers (11) and Astros (11). 9).
On the other hand, the New York Yankees are going through a very bad time.
This was his seventh consecutive losing game for the Yankees.
New York is living its longest losing streak since 1995, when they lost 8 straight games in August of that year.
Also, in the last five games, the Yankees have been outscored by 27 runs, which is the most runs they have allowed in a five-game span since May-June 2005.
Despite getting a run off Aaron Judge’s home run, the Yankees couldn’t take advantage of the opportunities they had to score.
Gerrit Cole, their star pitcher, had a rough night, allowing 6 runs in 4 innings.
Cole has allowed multiple home runs in 6 of the 17 games he has played against the Red Sox throughout his career, which means it is the team that has scored the most in his career.
