Gleyber Torres (3-for-5) added a solo homer for New York. Giancarlo Stanton blew the game open early with a three-run home run, and the New York Yankees held on to beat the host Boston Red Sox 8-3 in the opener of a pivotal three-game series Friday night. Stanton drove in another run on a groundout, and Torres singled Judge home with two outs for a 3-0 advantage. Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi completed a 1-2-3 second on seven pitches before New York ended his night in the third. Eovaldi (10-9) surrendered seven runs on seven hits and two walks in 2 2/3 innings.
