Yoshida, Bello lead Red Sox over skidding Yankees, who drop sixth straight and fall two under .500

Rookie Masataka Yoshida hit a three-run homer four batters into the game and drove four runs, and Brayan Bello pitched six innings Friday night to lead the Boston Red Sox to an 8-3 victory over the skidding New York Yankees, who dropped two games under .500. Justin Turner singled in each of his first three at-bats and hit a pair of RBI singles. Alex Verdugo also had an RBI single to start Boston’s three-run second that followed a fielding error by New York second baseman Gleyber Torres.
