The first game of the night is the rubber game of a three game series between the New York Yankees (AL East) and the Boston Red Sox (AL East) in what is supposed to be the biggest rivalry in baseball if not all sports. The game was played in front of 38,238 fans (103.5% capacity) at Fenway Park. For the home town team it’s relief pitcher Daniel Bard who comes in for the third game in a row, this time for 1.1 innings, giving up no runs on one hit, no walks while getting a strike out (15 pitches/12 strikes) ERA: 0.00. In the three game series the righty pitched for 3.1 innings giving up no runs. In a low scoring affair, that went into the tenth inning, it was New York winning this one, taking down Boston by the final of 3 to 1. With the loss the Red Sox are now 1-2 on the year (.333 winning percentage) and 1-2 at home.
