It was a game that offered a little bit of everything—power (the Yanks hit three homers, courtesy of Jazz Chisholm Jr. Anthony Volpe, and Paul Goldschmidt), perseverance, and just enough tension to make you remember that rivalry baseball never goes quietly.

The Red Sox starter said he's been "embarrassing" after the team put "a lot of faith in" him by giving him $21.05 million.

Anthony Volpe homered in a five-run first inning, then came out after he was hit by a pitch on the left elbow as the New York Yankees beat the Boston Red Sox 9-6 on Friday night in the AL rivals' first meeting this year.
