It was a quiet Thursday for most tracked Finger Lakes teams, with just one game on the docket — and it wasn’t a local squad doing the playing. In the Bronx, Boston’s Durbin hit a go-ahead home run to break a tie and lift the Red Sox to a 6-3 win over the Yankees. The loss stings for New York, which entered the day with one of the better records in the American League at 48-32 but couldn’t hold on against a Boston club sitting well below .500 at 33-46.
The Yankees’ lead in the standings takes a minor hit, but at 16 games over .500 they’re not in any immediate danger. Still, losses to struggling teams tend to draw scrutiny, and Boston is exactly the kind of opponent New York will be expected to handle down the stretch. No other tracked teams were in action Thursday.
