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