Game #1 - Guidry vs. Clemens
Boston snuck one home in the first vs. Guidry, as Barrett walked, Buckner singled him to 3rd and Rice brought Marty home on a sac fly. In the 5th inning, New York figured out Clemens. Oscar Gamble, Rick Cerone and Willie Randolph opened the inning with singles, with Randolph's hit scoring Gamble from 3rd. The runners moved to 2nd and 3rd on a bunt by Dave Collins, and with two out Dave Winfield singled them both home to give the Bombers a 3-1 lead. Boston came back to tie it in the 7th, when with one out, Tony Armas doubled, Hoffman singled him to third, Boggs walked and Barrett came through with an 2 RBI single. The teams traded zeros through regulation and into the 12th inning. With one out, Boggs doubled off of Mike Morgan, who was in his 5th inning of relief for the Yanks. Barrett struck out and Buckner was intentionally walked, bringing Jim Rice to the plate. Rice worked the count to 2-1 and then was hit in the ribs by Morgan, loading the bases for Rich Gedman, who promptly lined a single to left to score Boggs with the game winner. Final Score BOS 4 NYY 3. WP - Kison (1-0) LP - Morgan (1-1)
Game #2 - Righetti vs. Boyd
Oil Can Boyd make his 4th start of the tourney for Boston and continued to pitch
impressively in the early going. Boston got things going against Rags in the bottom of the 2nd, when with two outs Dwight Evans singled, went to 3rd on Mike Easler's single to right, and scored on a Tony Armas single. Glenn Hoffman then walked and Easler scored when Boggs walked with the bases loaded, before Barrett grounded out to end the inning. With a 2-0 lead, Boyd cruised up until the 5th inning, when the Bombers bats woke up. New York had two outs and a man on 2nd, thanks to a Butch Wynegar double. Next up came Lou Pinella who scored Butch with a single. A Dave Collins single sent Lou to 3rd, and then Randolph and Mumphrey knocked in another run each with RBI singles before Boyd could get the last out. But in the 6th inning, walks to Buckner and Gedman were followed by a Dwight Evans blast over the net in left to give the Red Sox a 5-3 lead. Boyd tired in the 8th and turned the game over to Steve Crawford. The Yankees were able to plate on more in the 9th on a Dave Collins RBI double, but Crawford was able to get the last out in the 9th to preserve Boyd's win. Final Score BOS 5 NYY 4. WP - Boyd (4-0) LP - Righetti (1-2) Sv - Crawford (1)
Game #3 - Hurst vs. Rawley
The teams moved to New York for Game #3. Bruce Hurst took the hill for Boston, hoping to get back on track after getting roughed up in his last start. On the mound for New York was Shane Rawley. Boston erupted for 8 runs in the top of the third, keyed by Evans' 2nd three run blast in as many games and a 2-run double by Boggs. Blessed with an 8 run lead Hurst got the job done, going 6 innings and allowing only one run, a Roy Smalley RBI single in the 5th. Boston scored another run in the 6th on a triple by Gedman and single by Boggs. Bruce Kison gave up three runs in relief of Hurst before Mark clear stopped the rally by pitching two shut out innings to end the game. Final Score BOS 9 NYY 4 WP - Hurst (3-1) LP - Rawley (2-1)
