SECOND CHANCES: Red Sox rookie starter Henry Owens made his big league debut against the Yankees on August 4. He went five innings and allowed three runs, but two of those runs came after he’d left the game. The only Yankees player with an RBI against Owens that day? Mark Teixeira, of course.

IN THE ZONE: Yankees pitchers recorded 13 strikeouts without issuing a walk last night. It was their second game this season with at least 13 strikeouts and no walks (18K and 0BB on May 16 against Baltimore). The Yankees are one of six Major League teams with multiple games of at least 13 strikeouts and no walks in 2015.

MILESTONE WIN: Joe Girardi needs one win to reach 800 for his managerial career.

ON THIS DATE: It was on September 2, 2001 that Mike Mussina came within one out of a perfect game at Fenway Park. Carl Everett delivered a pinch-hit, two-out single in the bottom of the ninth.
