Justin Turner pulverized the Yankees for two home runs and six RBIs, but their defensive play also was a disaster in an ugly 15-5 loss to the Red Sox.
The Yankees officially were charged with two errors in their eyesore of a defeat at Fenway Park, but they also committed at least three other noteworthy defensive mistakes in getting blown out in the opener of a three-game series.
“That’s been one of the hallmarks of this team so far, and you never like it, but it also happens, where you’re not gonna make all the plays. And tonight was a game that we didn’t.” Josh Donaldson can’t handle the ball on a throwing error by Jake Bauers, allowing Triston Casas to score in the fourth inning of the Yankees’ 15-5 blowout loss to the Red Sox.Lefty reliever Matt Krook, making his major league debut, also failed to cover first base during a grounder on which Rizzo went far to his right to field in the third inning.“I’m upset about that. I needed to get over [to first base]. Anytime the ball goes to the right side, I gotta be over there,” Krook said afterward.
Bauers overthrew third base on Connor Wong’s single to right in the fourth, allowing Triston Casas to score.
