Yankees and Sox duel in the middle game of the weekend set, looking to square the series at one.
Yanks break from the blocks quickly as Howser singles to open the game. Lonborg then walked the next 2 filling the sacks for Pepitone who just got under one, lofting a fly to center deep enough to score Howser. Whitaker walked to refill the bases. Charlie Smith flyer to shallow left but Lonborg who had trouble finding the plate walked Jake Gibbs forcing in the second run. Yaz got one back for the Beantowners, sending one into his team’s bullpen. Bottom 2, Russ Gibson singled and with 2 outs, came home as Lonborg helped himself, tripling into the triangle in center tying the game. Bottom three, Dalton Jones doubled and came around to score on a Yastrzemski single. Lonborg made the lead count, finding a moniker of steadiness through seven, pitching out of jams in each inning. Bottom 8, Yaz went downtown again, capping a nice 4-2 win and setting up the possibility of a sweep tomorrow.
