- On Saturday, rookie Jake Bennett pitched six innings allowing three hits, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 6-0 victory over the New York Yankees in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.

- The victory tightened the American League wild-card race, with Boston moving within two games of the Yankees for the top spot and home-field advantage in the postseason.
- Red Sox left-hander Alec Gamboa is scheduled to start the second game against Yankees lefty Max Fried, who returns from the injured list later today.
