Gerrit Cole admitted erring when he intentionally walked Rafael Devers with no one on in the fourth, sparking a three-run fourth inning for Boston that the Yankees never recovered from.
Devers scored in a three-run fourth inning and hit a two-run single in a four-run fifth that rallied the Red Sox over New York 7-1 on Saturday.Yankees manager Aaron Boone said he and Cole discussed in the leadup to the game being more aggressive in the use of intentional walks -- Cole hadn't issued one in seven years.
"He caught me by surprise," Devers said through a translator."I didn't expect that from a future Hall of Famer and I feel like he panicked a little bit." "Once we scored the run my preference would have been let's attack them. But, obviously, I didn't communicate that well enough," Boone said.
