Red Sox Run Rampant Beating Yankees 9-3 [VIDEO]
The Boston Red Sox ran rampant on the basepaths Sunday night, stealing a franchise record 9 stolen bases as they beat the New York Yankees 9-3 at Fenway Park. They are now a Major League best 12-1 on Sundays.
David Hamilton was 3-4 with 4 stolen bases. He became just the 3rd player in Red Sox history to steal 4 or more bases in a game. He joins Jacoby Ellsbury who did it twice, once in 2010 and then again in 2013 and Jerry Remy who did it in 1980. Jarren Duran was 2-4 with 2 stolen bases. Cedanne Rafaela was 3-4 driving in 2 runs and stealing a base. Connor Wong was 2-4 with a triple, driving in 2 runs (3 in the game) in the 7th inning. He now has a career-high-tying 8-game hitting streak.
Kutter Crawford started on the mound and went 6 innings, allowing 3 hits and 3 runs. He struck out 9 and walked just 1 to pick up the win, and is now 3-6 on the season.
Zack Kelly came on in the 7th inning with the bases loaded, with no outs, and the Red Sox clinging to a 4-3 lead. He retired all 3 batters he faced, striking out 2.
Boston is now 37-35, while the Yankees are 50-24.
Boston now opens a 3-game series in Toronto on Monday night. The pregame starts at 6:07 p.m. with the 1st pitch at 7:07 p.m. on AM 1370 WDEA.
