BOSTON (AP) Max Fried allowed three hits over eight scoreless innings, and the New York Yankees extended their winning streak to a season-high five with a 4-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
Amed Rosario hit a three-run, first-inning homer and had four RBIs for the Yankees.<\/p>\n
Fried (3-1) struck out nine and walked two, and the Yankees came within one out of third straight shutout victory for the first time since 1962.<\/p>\n
After Fried walked two batters in the first two innings, he listened to pitching coach Matt Blake’s suggestion that he pitch exclusively from the stretch.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe windup is something I’ve always been really comfortable with and I really like,\u201d Fried aid. “For whatever reason this year I’ve walked a ton of guys in the windup. I haven’t walked anyone from the stretch, so when you look at the numbers like that … I just said: \u2018You know what, you’ve got to suck up your pride,’ and just said: `Whatever’s working.”’<\/p>\n
Jarren Duran had an RBI single off Brent Headrick with two outs in the ninth for his third hit, ending Boston\u2019s 29-inning scoreless streak against the Yankees dating to last year\u2019s AL Wild Card Series. Caleb Durbin then grounded out.<\/p>\n
Boston has scored two runs or fewer in six of its last eight games, losing five.<\/p>\n
Ranger Suarez (1-2) gave up four runs and five hits in 4 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Coming off a 4-0 victory in the series opener Tuesday, Rosario hit a three-run homer in the first when he drove a changeup over the Green Monster.<\/p>\n
Suarez came in with a 14-inning scoreless streak and fresh off his best start this season when he went eight shutout innings against Detroit.<\/p>\n
Rosario had a sacrifice fly in the third.<\/p>\n
Boston\u2019s Roman Anthony was sidelined with back tightness that manager Alex Cora said started Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Red Sox 22-year-old lefty Eduardo Rivera made his major league debut and struck out his first batter, Jazz Chisholm Jr., swinging past a 96.9 mph fastball.<\/p>\n
Yankees RHP Cam Schlittler (2-1, 1.95 ERA) is slated to start the series finale Thursday.<\/p>\n
