The Boston Red Sox lost to the New York Yankees with a score of 4-2 in the opening game of a doubleheader on Sunday. This defeat brought the Red Sox's record to 7-13 for the season, while the Yankees now stand at 10-10.

In the first inning, the Red Sox gained an early advantage when Rafael Devers delivered a two-run double.

Nathan Eovaldi was the starting pitcher for the Red Sox, conceding three runs on eight hits across 5.1 innings. On the other hand, Jameson Taillon started for the Yankees, allowing two runs on five hits over 5.0 innings.
