BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox pitcher Sonny Gray lost his no-hitter bid against the New York Yankees when Amed Rosario singled with one out in the eighth inning Sunday night.
Rosario hit a clean single to center in Gray’s 97th pitch against his former team. Boston leads 2-0.
Gray struck out eight and walked one through seven innings as Boston attempted to complete a four-game rout of its longtime rival.
He got some defensive help in the third when Villier Abreu robbed Austin Wells of a sliding catch into shallow right field after sprinting full out to get to a sinking ball in time.
Gray retired his first 14 batters before walking Rosario with two outs in the fifth.
Yankees starter Carlos Rodon had a one-hitter after holding Boston without a hit through the first three innings. Caleb Durbin broke it up with a two-run single, one out in the fourth.
