The Boston Red Sox made their first trip to Yankee Stadium of the 2014 season and they were beaten by a pitcher who may or may not have used pine tar on his hand (sound familiar folks?).
Michael Pineda struck out seven over six plus innings to help the New York Yankees to a 4-1 win over the Red Sox on Thursday night.
Former Red Sox CF Jacoby Ellsbury had a hit and an RBI against his former club in the win.
Clay Buchholz pitched better than he did in his first start but took the loss after allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits while striking out seven in six innings of work.
Daniel Nava provided the Red Sox with their only run of the night with a solo blast off of Pineda in the 7th. Xander Bogaerts added two hits and David Ortiz had the only other hit for the visiting nine.
