Red Sox lose to Yankees following return of Roman Anthony and Trevor Story

The Boston Red Sox returned Roman Anthony and Trevor Story to the lineup on September 1, but the team suffered a 16-1 loss against the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. Anthony finished the game 2-for-4 with a double, while Story also recorded two hits in his return from injury. Despite the reinforcements, Boston was outscored 26-9 across the four-game series. The Yankees secured the season series 7-6, which grants them the tiebreaker advantage should the two teams finish the regular season with identical records. New York currently holds a four-game lead over Boston in the standings. The Red Sox remain winless against the Yankees in seven games where the team scored three or fewer runs.
