BOSTON, MA — Instant Reaction to the Yankees 6-4 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball, falling to 83-66 on the season.

  • The Yankees went down 1-2-3 in the first inning, including strikeouts from Slater and Judge.

  • Will Warren was awful today. He allowed five strict hits to start the game, and then got two outs, both scoring runs, before allowing a home run to Narvarez. He put the Yankees in an immediate 6-0 hole. To me, this game should have eliminated him from the conversation of getting a postseason starts, given his regular blowups against postseason teams.

  • The Yankees first hit of the game off Crochet was a Ben Rice double in the gap. He was stranded at second base after back-to-back strikeouts of Slater and Judge. Crochet racked up seven strikeouts through the first three innings.

  • After a Stanton single in the fourth inning, Amed Rosario crust a 2-run home run off Crochet, who he is 6-8 against this season to get the Yankees on the board. This one just cleared the Monster in Left.

  • Aaron Judge did not strike out in his third at-bat against Crochet. He took a fastball deep into the Boston bullpen to make this a 6-3 ballgame. It was Judge’s 48th home run of the season.

  • Warren was back out or the fifth inning and though there was a lot of traffic, he held the Red Sox scoreless. Warren really gave the Yankees offense a chance to get right back in this game.

  • Warren’s Final Line: 5 IP | 10 H | 6 ER | 1 BB | 2 K | 1 HR | 89-59 P/S | 4.44 ERA

    • Warren was very shakey early, but from the second inning through the fifth inning Warren looked a lot better. Warren’s ERA this season is 9.20 in three games against Boston.

  • Jose Caballero would get another run back to get the Yankees a run closer, sending a ball to Lansdowne street. Caballero recorded an extra base hit in each game at Fenway this weekend and is making the bid go get some more reps at shortstop.

  • The Yankees brought the tying run to the plate three times in the eighth inning after Judge lead off with a single. Bellinger, Stanton, and Grisham all struck out, Bellinger and Judge looking, and that killed the momentum the Yankees were gaining.

  • The Yankees bullpen — Doval, Leiter and Blackburn — held the Red Sox scoreless there three innings, on just two hits. And Caballero made a really nice play to end the eighth and save a run.

  • The Yankees would face Aroldis Chapman in the ninth inning, and they were sent down in order to drop the finally to Boston.
