New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox, 4/12/18: Yankees Go For Series Win

Although both benches were warned after Ramirez was hit in the first inning - he left the game - neither incident caused a renewal of tensions, and the Red Sox went on to a 6-3 victory. On Wednesday, Ramirez hit a home run with an exit velocity 117.5 miles per hour.

The loss of Ramirez, even for just one game, obviously is a big blow to Boston's offense, which lost its other hottest hitter in Xander Bogaerts on Sunday. But this was the beginning of what would later come. After going up and in on the second pitch of the AB, Kelly hit Austin-leading to Austin charging the mound and a bench-clearing brawl.

Major League Baseball announced the discipline on Thursday. Moreland will start in his place on Friday as the Red Sox open a four-game series with the Orioles.

Porcello quashed any hopes which the Yankees would bash on their way back into the game, although Giancarlo Stanton followed with an infield single.

Austin said after the game that he felt nothing was wrong with his slide.

The good news is the rivalry was never dead, and there is still bad blood between the two rivals which is great to see as a fan.

Nunez - who returned this year from a knee injury he suffered last September - didn't return to the game after the rain delay. Gary Sanchez was suspended four games for throwing punches, Alex Wilson got four for intentionally hitting Todd Frazier. Things started to get heated in the fourth inning after Pedro Martinez threw a pitch over the head of Karim Garcia.

"It's possible we hear something (about suspensions) today", he said.

"I told (Cora) I was fine for Monday or I could come back on Saturday or Sunday or go sit in the bullpen if needed", Price said.

"Kind of just one of those nights", Gray said. The next batter, Sandy Leon, would strike out swinging on a ball dropped in the dirt, and instead of going to first, Sanchez tried to get JBJ at third and that attempt failed. Last night Walker played first base and Tyler Austin was the DH while Andujar played third base.

The right-hander, who had allowed no more than two earned runs in any of his previous road starts, had a hard time with his command on a damp night.
