BOSTON — Instant reactions to the Red Sox (35-46) beating the Yankees again, this time by a 4-1 score thanks to a fantastic start by rookie Jake Bennett:
1) The Red Sox continue to have Gerrit Cole’s number. The six-time All-Star entered with a 5.52 career ERA at Fenway Park and the tough times continued as Boston got to him early.
The Sox tagged Cole for four runs in the first three innings, scoring on homers by Masataka Yoshida and Anthony Seigler and a two-run Willson Contreras double. In total, Cole lasted 5 ⅓ innings and surrendered seven hits.
2) On the other side, Bennett was phenomenal for the Red Sox. After striking out nine in six shutout innings Monday in Denver, the lefty cruised through seven innings, barely allowing any traffic along the way.
Bennett threw 6 ⅓ innings, allowing one run on three hits. He didn’t have many strikeouts (three) but got a lot of soft contact and quick outs. The southpaw didn’t allow a hit until the fifth inning when Max Schuemann hit a solo homer to center field.
