BOSTON — One former Yankee taketh, another former Yankee giveth.
Aroldis Chapman wanted an apology from the Yankees, but he may owe one to Sonny Gray instead for ruining his masterpiece that began with 7 ⅓ no-hit innings, allowing their former team to tie the game in the ninth.
And yet, somehow, it only delayed the misery for the Yankees.
After the Yankees took a two-run lead in the top of the 10th, the Red Sox came back to win it in the bottom of the frame against Fernando Cruz, as Jarren Duran’s walk-off single lifted them to a 5-4 win that finished off a four-game sweep on Sunday night at Fenway Park.
Following a late rally from the Yankees to erase a 2-0 deficit in the top of the ninth against Chapman to send the game to extras, they took the lead in the 10th.
Amed Rosario, who had broken up Gray’s no-hit bid in the eighth inning, led off with a sinking liner to right field that Wilyer Abreu dropped, allowing automatic runner Max Schuemann to score the go-ahead run from second.
Abreu’s throw home was wild, giving Rosario an extra 90 feet to second base.
After Oswaldo Cabrera sacrifice bunted Rosario to third, Austin Wells got off a swinging bunt down the third base line that Rosario raced home on to beat the throw for the 4-2 lead.
