"It was Gary Sanchez who put the Yankees on his back early with two homers, a double and four RBIs and the visitors broke out to an 8-1 lead.
But Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez countered with a grand slam to center in the fifth against Masahiro Tanaka that slimmed New York's lead to 8-6.
Things got wild in the top of the seventh, after Boston reliever Joe Kelly hit Tyler Austin in the back with a 97.7-mph fastball.
Austin threw his bat down and then charged the mound, and he and Kelly threw punches at each other. Austin also landed a punch to the head of Red Sox third-base coach Carlos Febles.
The tension stemmed from an incident in the third, when Austin slid hard with his left foot into Red Sox shortstop Brock Holt's right leg. Benches emptied that time also, but the situation was quickly diffused.
The Big G: The Yankees drew positives from Giancarlo Stanton's final two at-bats of Tuesday's loss, noting that the slugger's timing appeared to be improving. The reigning National League MVP continued that progress in the first inning against Price, stroking a triple to the triangle in center field that chased home Brett Gardner and Aaron Judge. It was the 11th triple of Stanton's career, and his first since 2016."
The rivalry has heated up once again. This has to be the best rivalry in MLB.
