“Similar to Caballero the other day,” manager Alex Cora said. “They took a chance. They’re really good at what they do base running-wise. Volpe with the hop-hop and he goes. But Narvi, he made a great throw. He actually talked with Whit when he came in. Kind of like, ‘Hey, you have to mix up your looks and you’ve gotta be quick the plate.’”

With the first-place Yankees having now lost their last three games against the fourth-place Red Sox, they’ll turn to Carlos Rodón on Saturday.

The defining victory of Boston's season to this point featured a dramatic swing of emotions in the ninth and 10th innings.
