The offense got to Garrett Crochet, but it wasn\u2019t enough on a bad day for Ryan Yarbrough.<\/p>\n

For the second straight day, the\u00a0Yankees\u2019 offense jumped all over a\u00a0Red Sox\u00a0offseason acquisition early. They plated five runs off of Garrett Crochet in the first four innings, the\u00a0strongest outing\u00a0by any offense against the Boston ace all season.<\/p>\n

Unlike\u00a0Friday, however, the offense\u2019s outburst early didn\u2019t lead to a win. After an impressive start to his Yankees tenure, Ryan Yarbrough got hit around tonight, allowing a staggering eight runs in four innings, as the Yankees dropped the second game of this weekend series, 10-7. Austin Wells homered and drove in four, but stranded the tying run on second in the eighth. New York never got closer.<\/p>\n

The game started innocently enough, with both Yarbrough and Crochet delivering scoreless innings in the first. Yarbrough worked around a one-out double by Rafael Devers and Crochet dominated through the top of the order.<\/p>\n

The first blow came in the top of the second. A leadoff double by Romy Gonzalez and a walk to Ceddanne Rafaela set the table for Kristian Campbell, who had been in a deep slump before delivering a game-opening RBI single.<\/p>\n

An early deficit against Crochet is usually a death sentence, but the Yankees came out swinging in the bottom half. An infield single and two stolen bases by Cody Bellinger got the tying run to third. DJ LeMahieu worked a walk to bring up Wells, who ambushed a poorly located first-pitch cutter into the short porch. It was the first time Crochet had given up three runs since April 24th and it was 3-1, Bombers.<\/p>\n
