Red Sox strand 10 runners, lose 1-0 to Yankees in series opener

The Boston Red Sox fell 1-0 to the New York Yankees on August 28, 2026, at Yankee Stadium. Despite a solid pitching performance from Patrick Sandoval, who allowed only one run and kept the Yankees' offense in check, the Red Sox offense failed to capitalize on multiple opportunities, stranding ten runners. Ceddanne Rafaela's two critical baserunning mistakes contributed to Boston's inability to score, leaving the team with no runs despite five walks issued by Yankees starter Cam Schlittler. The Red Sox will look to regroup in the next three games of the series.
