Masataka Yoshida delivered in the clutch once again for the Boston Red Sox, keeping his late-season surge alive in a 3-1 victory over the New York Yankees on Monday night. The Red Sox trailed 1-0 in the seventh inning before Yoshida, coming off the bench as a pinch-hitter, lined a two-run single to give Boston the lead. Left-hander Garrett Crochet turned in a dominant start for Boston, striking out 11 and allowing just one run over 7 2/3 innings. His performance kept the Red Sox in striking distance until the offense broke through. A Red Sox win would clinch a sweep and set up a Division Series matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays.
