Yankees' Aaron Boone Makes Anthony Volpe Announcement After Red Sox Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees defeated the Boston Red Sox on Friday, securing a 9-6 win in the series opener. It was an impressive offensive showing for the Yankees, who furthered their lead atop the American League in runs scored.

Anthony Volpe homered in a five-run first inning, then came out after he was hit by a pitch on the left elbow as the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 9-6 in the AL rivals’ first meeting this year.

The last time Walker Buehler was on the mound at Yankee Stadium prior to Friday night, he watched as Alex Verdugo swung through a knuckle curveball. That swing-and-miss clinched the World Series for Buehler’s Los Angeles Dodgers.
