Red Sox Defeat Yankees 10-7 as Yarbrough Struggles in Bronx

Ryan Yarbrough, who had been a reliable and effective pitcher for the Yankees with a 2.08 ERA over five starts, struggled significantly in a recent game against the Red Sox, allowing eight runs in just four innings. This poor performance contributed to the Yankees' 10-7 loss at Yankee Stadium, despite strong offensive efforts from players like Austin Wells, who homered and drove in four runs. Yarbrough's difficulties were compounded by defensive lapses, including a costly error by Pablo Reyes, and the absence of key defensive players such as Anthony Volpe and Jazz Chisholm Jr. The Red Sox capitalized on Yarbrough's lack of command and missing cutter, scoring five runs in the third inning alone. Yarbrough's previous success had been attributed to his junk-balling style, improved changeup, and ability to mix speeds and locations, which had baffled opponents until this outing. The Yankees' bullpen also faltered late in the game, as Ian Hamilton gave up two runs in the ninth, sealing the loss.
