Benches clear as Red Sox and Yankees scuffle at Fenway

sportsJun 27, 202617278

Benches cleared in the fifth inning of the Yankees-Red Sox game at Fenway Park after a heated exchange involving Red Sox catcher Willson Contreras; players ultimately returned to the field and play resumed. Boston beat New York 6-1, with starter Payton Tolle carrying a perfect game bid into the sixth and finishing with seven scoreless innings, one hit allowed, two walks and seven strikeouts. The win gave the Red Sox at least a series split with the Yankees and extended a streak of scoring six or more runs to three straight games for Boston. Tolle threw 88 pitches, 61 for strikes, and faced 24 hitters in the outing. The game was noted in posts as a throwback moment with benches emptying despite no ejections reported in the available accounts.

The second best thing about baseball is beating your rival when your season is in the toilet and they are doing well.

I am reliably informed that the Yankees suck.

if anything, the yankees losing to this dumpster fire of a sox team makes it even funnier

My husband is a Red Sox fan and I’m a lifelong Cleveland fan. Our initial bond over sports was our mutual and evergreen loathing of the Yankees.

Beating up a good team. What's that feel like? Asking for the entire Rockies fan..errr...people who own Rockies merch from the 00s

The Red Sox beat the Yankees, 6-1. Payton Tolle had the longest scoreless outing (7 innings) of his career. The Sox have scored 6+ runs in three straight games -- tied for their longest such streak of the year.

Payton Tolle ran out of steam a bit with a pair of two-out walks, but he finished the seventh with a flyout to finish seven scoreless innings. If that's it for Tolle, what a performance: 7 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 7 K

Payton Tolle strikes out the side in the second. He's struck out four of six Yankees he's faced. New York's season-high in Ks is 17 back on April 23 against the Red Sox... when Tolle was starting. He had 11 Ks that day.

Payton Tolle tonight becomes first #RedSox starter with 7.0 IP, 1 hit, and no runs allowed in a game vs #Yankees since Chris Sale's start on June 30, 2018 in the Bronx. Tolle's is first outing vs NYY at Fenway Park since Greg Harris on June 7, 1990 (8.0 IP).

Interesting article from Julian McWilliams, former Red Sox beat writer for the Boston Globe (6 years). www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/gia... The Devers parts are interesting. The Giants FO section not so much, a bit weak.

The Red Sox may be a tire fire but they're a tire fire the Yankees can't put out.

I have a neighbor that’s a Yankees fan. I said I should taunt them on their ring camera. I don’t actually know them so I that’s probably not the way to meet them 😂.
