In the sixth inning of Saturday's game, Red Sox starter Brayan Bello faced Aaron Judge and threw the first pitch behind his knees, missing the Yankees slugger. On Sunday, Cora appeared to admit that this was when the Red Sox were trying to even the score by hitting Judge on purpose.

New York Yankees starter Gerrit Cole has historically struggled to pitch to Boston Red Sox star third baseman Rafael Devers, and in Saturday's 7-1 loss to Boston, Cole did everything in his power to not pitch to Devers.

The Boston Red Sox’s 7-1 win against their longtime division rival, the New York Yankees, brewed many interesting moments. Following a hit-by-pitch in the first inning, Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole intentionally walked Rafael Devers in the fourth inning.
