BOSTON — For 106 pitches Friday night, Garrett Crochet dominated the Yankees.
That included three strikeouts of Aaron Judge, who was 0-for-6 with six punchouts in his first six at-bats against the Red Sox lefty this season.

On pitch No. 107, with Crochet two outs away from a complete game shutout, Judge silenced Fenway Park — though it only lasted for an inning and a half.
After Judge extended the game with a dramatic game-tying home run in the top of the ninth inning, ex-Yankee Carlos Narváez won it for the Red Sox in the bottom of the 10th with a walk-off single for the 2-1 victory in front of a sell-out crowd of 36,622.
The Red Sox had runners on second and third with two outs when Narváez drilled an offering from Tim Hill off the Green Monster to end it.

In the top of the 10th, Anthony Volpe was thrown out trying to steal third base with no outs and Jasson Domínguez at the plate.
It was a bang-bang play on which he was called safe on the field, but the Red Sox challenged and got the call overturned.

After Domínguez struck out looking, DJ LeMahieu hit a ball down the first-base line that was called foul, which the Yankees challenged.
Following a lengthy review, the call on the field stood, which had Aaron Boone hot.
He stepped out of the dugout, tossed his gum and quickly got ejected, after which he argued some more, to no avail.

Then, after LeMahieu grounded out to end the inning, he said something as he ran past first base umpire Jeremie Rehak, who then threw LeMahieu out of the game as well.
Judge ruined Crochet's shutout bid in the top of the ninth.
After working the count full, he got a 100 mph fastball on the inside edge and obliterated a 443-foot shot onto Landsdowne Street to tie the game.
Before the dramatic ninth-inning blast, Crochet had Judge's number.
He had struck him out on 98, 97 and 99 mph fastballs in their first three battles after striking him out in all three at-bats last weekend in The Bronx.

Yankees righty Clarke Schmidt has a no-hitter through six innings against the Orioles
NEW YORK — New York Yankees right-hander Clarke Schmidt has held the Baltimore Orioles hitless through six innings Saturday. Schmidt threw 29 pitches in the first inning, when he issued consecutive walks to Jordan Westburg and Gunnar Henderson. He stranded a runner in the fourth after hitting Ryan O'Hearn with a pitch and easily finished the fifth. Schmidt breezed through a nine-pitch fifth and needed eight pitches to get through the sixth. Schmidt has thrown first-pitch strikes to 15 of 21 hitters, struck out five and walked two. Schmidt was at 82 pitches through six innings and held a 8-0 lead. New York has thrown 24 no-hitters in team history. The last was June 28, 2023, in Oakland when Domingo Germán threw the Yankees' major league-leading fourth perfect game. The Orioles have been no-hit 15 times in team history. Baltimore was last held hitless on Aug. 12, 2015, in Seattle by Hisashi Iwakuma. ___ More AP baseball:

(AP Photo/Jeff Chiu) Updated [hour]:[minute] [AMPM] [timezone], [monthFull] [day], [year] SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The San Francisco Giants said Major League Baseball is looking into allegations of abuse made by the wife of reliever Sean Hjelle. Caroline Hjelle made a post on TikTok on Friday of her with the couple's two children with a caption that said: 'When my MLB husband abandons us on Mothers Day a week after this (video was taken) once I finally found about his affairs and stopped putting up with his abuse, so I've been raising two boys alone.' The Giants said in a statement Saturday that they are 'aware of these serious allegations' and that MLB is handling it. Manager Bob Melvin said before Saturday's game against the Boston Red Sox that Hjelle would be available to pitch. 'Obviously we're aware of it,' Melvin said. 'He told me about it last night. We talked to MLB. At this point, it's in their jurisdiction right now so I really can't comment on it further.' Hjelle took the loss in Friday night's game against the Red Sox, allowing a tiebreaking homer to Ceddanne Rafaela in the sixth inning. Hjelle is 1-1 with a 4.66 ERA in six appearances this season. ___ AP MLB:
