BOSTON (AP) — J.D. Martinez had three hits, including a game-tying RBI single in the ninth, and Tommy Pham hit a walk-off single in the 10th to lead last-place Boston past Aaron Judge and AL East-leading New York.
New York pitchers retired 12 straight Boston batters before closer Clay Holmes walked two with one out in the ninth and then gave up Martinez’s single up the middle.

Lou Trivino (1-7) allowed two hits and recorded one out for the Yankees, who have lost three straight and eight of nine.

Yordan Alvarez followed with another single, and Alex Bregman walked to load the bases for Tucker.
