BOSTON — Yankees right-hander Domingo German had been on a roll, but the Red Sox put a forceful end to his recent run of success on Friday night.
German, who owned a 2.20 ERA over his previous seven starts, logged his shortest outing of the season, a two-inning implosion that saw him charged with seven earned runs. Trouble began during German’s 32-pitch first inning when, with a 1-0 lead, he surrendered a two-run double to Masataka Yoshida. The drive just missed clearing the Green Monster.
Justin Turner, meanwhile, had the distance when he hit a two-run homer over Fenway Park’s tall wall in the second. But he and the last-place Red Sox were hardly done, as they handily beat their third-place American League East rivals, 15-5.
