Justin Turner powers the Sox past the Yankees June 16, 2023 ... Justin Turner had a grand slam, a two-run home run, and a double, Masataka Yoshida drove in three runs and the Red Sox routed the Yankees 15-5. Turner tied his career high with six RBIs and scored three runs. The Sox earned their third victory in four meetings with its rival after winning two of three during last week’s series in New York. Yoshida had four hits.The Red Sox' 15 hits and 17 hits marked season highs, and the Yankees tied their season high for runs allowed. Tanner Houck gave up one run and four hits, with two strikeouts and a walk before leaving the game in the fifth inning after being struck in the face by a line drive by Kyle Higashioka. Houck immediately went to the ground and stayed down for a few minutes while he was attended to by athletic trainers. His right cheek was bleeding, but he was able to get to his feet and walk off the field on his own power. The team announced his injury as a facial contusion. He was replaced by Joe Jacques (1-0), who gave up three runs over two innings. Yankees starter Domingo Germán (4-4) was chased in the third inning after he gave up a leadoff double to Adam Duvall, RBI single to Yoshida, and a double to Christian Arroyo. Germán gave up seven runs, while allowing seven hits, with two walks and a wild pitch. He was replaced by Matt Krook, who made his major league debut. Krook got two outs via grounders before Pablo Reyes scored off a groundball to third that was mishandled by Josh Donaldson. Alex Verdugo singled to load the bases and Turner cleared them with his second homer of the night, a 429-foot drive to center field. The Yankees were credited with just two errors but were out of sorts defensively throughout. They made wild throws, mishandled ground balls, and were out of position other times, which allowed infield hits. New York did get on the scoreboard first after Anthony Rizzo hit an RBI grounder in the first, but Yoshida hit a double into the left-field gap that caromed off the Green Monster in the bottom half, scoring Turner and Rafael Devers. Turner then made it 4-1 in the second, jumping on Germán’s first pitch curveball and driving it 367 feet and into the Green Monster seats for his ninth home run. |
