Price pitched 6 scoreless innings, and only allowed 2 runs on a questionable decision by Cora leaving him in for the 7th. Offensively Mookie Betts started things off for the Sox in the 5thwith his 26thhome run of the year. That was the last inning for Tanaka who pitched 4 2/3 innings of solid baseball. In the 7thinning things fell apart for the Red Sox as  the Yankees put up 4 runs. Boston shortstop Bogaerts booted a potential double-play grounder by Aaron Hicks with the bases loaded. Bogaerts didn't handle a high hop, and the ball went into shallow center field as Brett Gardner and Austin Romine scored to put New York ahead 2-1. Giancarlo Stanton followed with an RBI single off Heath Hembree, and Torres' sacrifice fly increased New York's lead to three. In the 9thinning Chapman loaded the bases on walks before Martinez's two-out, two-run single pulled Boston within one. Third baseman Miguel Andujar then bounced a throw to first on Xander Bogaerts' grounder, with pinch-runner Jackie Bradley Jr. racing home with the tying run
