THE YANKEES were swept by the Red Sox in a series of 4+ games for the 7th time in the last 100 seasons and for the 1st time since 2016 (9/15-18, also at Fenway).

*       Was their 2nd time being swept this season, also in a 3-game set at TB (6/22-24).

*       At 68-42 (.618), own MLB’s 3rd-highest winning percentage behind the Red Sox (.690, 78-35) and Astros (.628, 71-42).

*       Have lost a season-high 5 consecutive games…Marks the club’s longest losing streak since a 7-game skid from 6/13-20/17.

*       Marked their 1st loss of 2018 when leading after 8 innings (58-1).

*       Suffered their 3rd walk-off loss of the season and 2nd in extra innings…Also lost via walk-off on 6/24 at TB (12th inning) and 7/10 at BAL (9th inning).

*       Was their 3rd walk-off loss at Fenway Park in the last 3 seasons, also losing in that fashion on 9/15/16 (9th inning) and 7/14/17 (9th inning).

*       Marked NYY’s 1st walk-off loss in extra innings at Fenway Park since 7/21/13 (11th inning, Mike Napoli HR).

GIANCARLO STANTON (2-for-5, RBI) singled in the 1st and 7th innings, with the latter driving in a run and pushing NYY’s lead to 3-1…Has 12 RBI in his last 15 games.

*       Recorded multiple hits for the 31st time this season, for the 2nd time in as many games, and for the 3rd time in his last 4…Trails only Miguel Andujar’s 32 multi-hit efforts for the most by a Yankee in 2018.

*       According to StatCast, his 121.1 mph single in the 1st inning tied Gary Sanchez’s lineout on 6/19 vs. TB for the hardest-hit batted ball in the majors this year.

*       Has 5 of MLB’s 6 hits in the StatCast era (2015-present) with an exit velocity of 120.0+ mph…Aaron Judge has the only other (HR, 121.1 mph, 6/10/17 vs. BAL).

*       Is batting .333 (75-for-225) on the road this season, including .406 (41-for-101) over his last 25 road games (.441 OBP, .614 SLG, 1.055 OPS).

MASAHIRO TANAKA (4.2 IP, 6 H, R, BB, 9 SO) extended his scoreless-innings streak to a career-high 21.1 IP before allowing a 1-out solo HR to Mookie Betts in the 5th inning…Was his 1st run allowed since the 4th inning on 7/15 at CLE…His previous career-long scoreless-innings streak was 17.2 IP (8/13-30/16).

*       Is the longest scoreless streak by a Yankee this season and longest by a club pitcher since CC Sabathia had a 23.2 scoreless IP streak in 2011 (6/30-7/10).

*       Has not received the loss in any of his last 14 starts (beginning 4/23 vs. MIN)…Is 7-0 with a 3.12 ERA (28 ER/80.2 IP), .209 opponent AVG (61-for-292), and 1.03 WHIP during that stretch.

*       Is tied with James Paxton for the longest streak of starts without receiving the loss in MLB this season, and is the 3rd-longest by a Yankee since 2005 (Ivan Nova-20 in 2011-12, CC Sabathia-15 in 2017-18).

*       Over 10 starts vs. the Red Sox beginning 4/29/16, is 4-2 with a 3.41 ERA (24 ER/63.1 IP).

*       Tonight was his 2nd career start with 9+ SO over 4.2 IP or fewer (also 6/17/17 at OAK, 4.0 IP, 10 SO)…David Phelps (4/26/13 vs. NYY, 4.0 IP, 9 SO) and Jay Howell (4/6/83 at SEA, 4.2 IP, 9 SO) are the only other Yankees with such a start since at least 1908.

GLEYBER TORRES (0-for-2, 2 BB, SF, RBI) extended the Yankees’ lead to 4-1 with an RBI sacrifice fly to center field in the 7th inning…Has 8 RBI over his last 9 games.

DELLIN BETANCES (1.0 IP, 2 SO, HBP) has allowed just 1 run in 25.0 IP (0.36 ERA, .100 opponent AVG, 8 H, 13 BB, 43 SO, 4 HBP) over 26 appearances since 5/27.

*       His current streak of 25 consecutive relief appearances with at least 1 SO (beginning 5/29) is the 2nd-longest in Yankees history, trailing only Andrew Miller’s 28-game stretch from 5/6-7/17/16…Has recorded at least 1 SO in 43 of his 45 appearances this season.

BRETT GARDNER (2-for-5, R) singled in the 7th and 8th innings as part of his 23rd multi-hit game of the season…The Yankees are 17-6 in those contests. 

AROLDIS CHAPMAN (1.0 IP, H, 3 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 3 SO) snapped a streak of 22 consecutive save opportunities converted, the 3rd-longest streak of his career (29, 7/4/14-5/30/15 with CIN; 27, 6/26-9/4/12 with CIN)
