📋 Game Recaps: Every Contest from Yesterday’s MLB Slate
Yesterday featured a full 15-game schedule across the American and National Leagues. Below we break down the most pivotal matchups, with exclusive context you won’t get from a standard box score.
🔹 Yankees vs. Red Sox – A Rivalry Renewed
The Bronx Bombers traveled to Fenway for a classic AL East showdown. In front of 37,845 fans, the game lived up to the hype. New York jumped out to a 4–1 lead in the third, but Boston clawed back with a 3-run seventh. The difference? A 9th-inning double off the Monster by Anthony Rizzo that plated the go-ahead run.
For fans tracking Baseball Scores from this rivalry, this game was a textbook example of pitching execution vs. late-inning pressure. New York’s bullpen, which had struggled in recent outings, delivered 3.1 scoreless frames.
🔹 Dodgers vs. Giants – West Coast Battle
Out at Oracle Park, the Dodgers and Giants played a taut 2–1 pitcher’s duel. Logan Webb went 7 innings for San Francisco, allowing just 1 earned run while fanning 9. But LA’s Clayton Kershaw (6.2 IP, 1 ER, 7 K) matched him pitch for pitch. The game was decided on a sac fly by Mookie Betts in the 7th.
