Crochet (16-5) allowed three runs and five hits in six innings, walking one. Aroldis Chapman pitched the ninth for his 30th save in 32 chances as Boston finished with a 9-4 advantage in the season series.<\/p>\n

Judge hit Crochet\u2019s 97.6 mph fastball over Boston\u2019s bullpen, slicing it to 6-3 in the fifth. In the series opener, the Yankees slugger hit his 362nd career homer, passing Joe DiMaggio for fourth place on the club\u2019s list.<\/p>\n

Warren (8-7) lasted five innings, giving up 10 hits.<\/p>\n

Garrett Whitlock gave up Judge\u2019s single off the Green Monster leading off the eighth but struck out the next three batters.<\/p>\n
