In Game 2 of the doubleheader at Yankee Stadium on August 30, the Red Sox lost to the Yankees 9-2. Brayan Bello, typically a reliable reliever, faltered, allowing four runs in 4 ⅓ innings after Boston initially took a 1-0 lead. The Red Sox committed sloppy defensive errors, with 10 in their last seven games accounting for 13.5% of their season total. Nick Sogard hit a home run but the team's struggles with runners on base hindered their performance.
