It was a quiet Saturday for Finger Lakes-area teams, with most tracked squads off. The one game on the board came from the Bronx, where the Boston Red Sox handed the New York Yankees a 4-1 loss. Jake Bennett turned in a strong start for Boston, and Masataka Yoshida provided the signature moment — a home run off Gerrit Cole that helped put the game away. The Yankees fell to 48-34 on the season despite holding one of the better records in the American League.
The loss is a modest setback for New York, which remains in strong playoff position, but it’s another stumble for a Boston club that has struggled to find consistency. The Red Sox sit at 35-46, and while wins like this one are welcome, they’re working against a significant deficit in the standings. Bennett’s performance at least gives the pitching staff something to build on heading into the final days of June.
No other tracked teams were in action Saturday. The Bills, Sabres, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, Red Wings, Knighthawks, Cornell, Hobart, and Syracuse all had the day off.
