Gleyber Torres and Rougned Odor homered to back another strong start from Jameson Taillon as the Yankees beat the Red Sox 9-1 on Sunday night.
Playing without All-Star slugger Aaron Judge and five of his teammates who also tested positive for COVID-19 recently, the Yankees won their second straight against rival Boston after dropping the first seven meetings this year.
Taillon pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings of four-hit ball in his 100th major league start, improving to 4-0 in his past five outings. Chad Green escaped a jam in the sixth to protect a three-run cushion. DJ LeMahieu extended his on-base streak to 30 games, longest in the big leagues this season, with a single that set up a third-inning run.
Odor reached on a bunt single leading off the fifth and scored on Greg Allen's sacrifice fly. He added a two-run homer in the seventh to make it 5-0.There was no visible trouble between Red Sox players and unruly fans, one night after Boston left fielder Alex Verdugo was hit by a baseball thrown from the Yankee Stadium stands. The fan who threw the ball was banned for life from attending big league games.
