NEW YORK (AP) — Trevor Story had five RBIs, Garrett Crochet struck out Aaron Judge three times and the Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 10-7 on Saturday night to even their weekend series at one game apiece.

In his first career start at Yankee Stadium, Crochet (6-4) allowed a season-high five runs and six hits in six innings, striking out nine and walking one. He has 32 strikeouts in his last three starts.
Judge went 0 for 4, dropping his major league-leading average to .390. AL East-leading New York lost for the fourth time in 13 games, and hitting coach James Rowson was ejected in the fourth for arguing balls and strikes.

J LeMahieu hit a two-run single in the eighth off Justin Wilson, and Aroldis Chapman retired three straight batters for his 10th save in 11 chances, falling over first base as he stepped on the bag for the final out.

Yarbrough allowed eight runs and nine hits in four innings as his ERA climbed from 2.83 to 4.17.
