⚾ MLB Lead Story
GRAY DOMINATES, RED SOX WALK IT OFF IN TEN!
Sonny Gray baffles the Yankees for 7.1 innings and Boston beats New York 5–4 in extras β€” a rivalry classic!
⚾ πŸ”₯ ⭐
Fenway Park goes bananas! Boston walks off the Yankees in 10 innings on Sunday. (Illustration)

Yankees–Red Sox is always the biggest rivalry in baseball, and Sunday night at Fenway Park did NOT disappoint. Sonny Gray was absolutely filthy on the mound for Boston, going 7.1 innings, allowing just 1 hit, zero earned runs, and striking out 9 batters. That is an all-time performance in a rivalry game!

The game stayed tight going into extra innings tied at 4. But the Red Sox pushed one run across in the 10th inning to win 5–4 and send Fenway Park into total chaos. The Yankees fall to 48–35 on the season, while the Red Sox improve to 36–46 β€” a badly-needed win for Boston as they try to claw back in the AL East.

Gray's stat line β€” 7.1 IP, 0 ER, 1 H, 9 K, 1 BB β€” is the kind of pitching performance you'll be talking about for a while. Nine strikeouts against a lineup as powerful as New York's? That's filthy, Jacob. Absolutely filthy.
