The Boston Red Sox took down the New York tables once again on Friday night but there was some drama before the night came to an end. Garrett Crochet was close to a complete game shutout but Aaron Judge had a different idea with a ninth inning game-tying homer over the Green Monster.

“Similar to Caballero the other day,” manager Alex Cora said. “They took a chance. They’re really good at what they do base running-wise. Volpe with the hop-hop and he goes. But Narvi, he made a great throw. He actually talked with Whit when he came in. Kind of like, ‘Hey, you have to mix up your looks and you’ve gotta be quick the plate.’”

Crochet held New York scoreless over a career-high 8 1/3 innings, striking out the Yankees slugger three times while holding the rest of New York’s lineup to four hits with seven total Ks.

BOSTON — Roman Anthony, Baseball America’s No. 1 prospect, has been in the major leagues for less than a week but Red Sox star Alex Bregman has seen enough. “I think he’s gonna be one of the best hitters in all of baseball,” Bregman said before Boston’s 2-1 walkoff win in 10 innings over the Yankees on Saturday.

With the first-place Yankees having now lost their last three games against the fourth-place Red Sox, they’ll turn to Carlos Rodón on Saturday.

The New York Yankees lost the opener of their weekend series against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday.

Crochet pitched into the ninth inning on Friday for the first time in his career as he joined Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez in some awesome team record books.
