Red Sox Lose to Yankees, Search for Offense

It's April 22nd. Welcome to Boston Red Sox News today, AI-powered coverage of your squad. I'm Cory with the story.

Red Sox fell flat Tuesday night at Fenway, dropping a clean, four-nothing shutout to the Yankees in their first rivalry matchup.

Now 9 and 14 on the year, Boston's best shot at a comeback died in the bottom of the 7th, when Caleb Durban's automated ball strike.

Challenge missed by just 0.1 inches, stranding two runners. Yankees pitcher Louise Gill owned the mound, tossing six and one-third scoreless innings on only two hits after a rough start to his season.

Boston's Ricky left deconally early hung tough for five and one-third frames, giving up five hits and three runs.

But command issues let New York pull away.

Fans rose up hoping for magic in that 7th, but the cold night amplified the Sox offense woes, which struck out far too often against Gill's heat.

Stanton's power loomed large, turning early solid effort into a tough luck night.

Stanton's solo blast over the green monster in the second, open scoring, then his two run double in the sixth.

Captain Frame that started with two walks.

Small silver lining came from Sedan Rafaella's leaping robbery against the wall and center, denying Stanton extra bases in the eighth.

Boston searches for answers on offense as the Yankees build steam, setting up a tense rubber match ahead.
