Gray's Strong Start

Boston starter Sonny Gray delivered a dominant performance against his former team, carrying a no-hitter into the eighth inning.

Gray recorded nine strikeouts to reach his 2,000th career strikeout before Amed Rosario singled with one out in the eighth to end the no-hit bid.

The Yankees rallied in the ninth inning against Boston closer Aroldis Chapman, scoring two runs to tie the game at 2-2.

The comeback was aided by a throwing error from right fielder Wilyer Abreu, though Chapman recovered to strike out his final two batters.

With those strikeouts, Chapman tied Hoyt Wilhelm's all-time reliever record with 1,363 career strikeouts.

A sacrifice fly by Tsung-Che Cheng tied the game before Duran drove a line drive into right field off Fernando Cruz to secure the win.

The defeat dropped the Yankees one game behind the Tampa Bay Rays atop the American League East standings.
