The Yankees used Paul Blackburn for the eighth inning to bridge the game to closer David Bednar. It worked, as Blackburn allowed just a double with two outs, but got Caleb Durbin to fly out to center to end the inning.

The two-out double by Trevor Story was the first baserunner for Boston to reach second base in the game. That's dominance from Schlittler and Blackburn in the game. Really good.
