New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox: Final Score & Recap

The New York Yankees blanked the Boston Red Sox 4-0 at JetBlue Park on March 4, 2026, handing Boston a shutout loss in which the DiamondIQ model's estimate of a home win, beginning at 54%, fell to zero percent by the final out. New York scored in the first, third, fourth, and fifth innings, building an early cushion that the Yankees bullpen never surrendered over the final four frames. The Red Sox managed six hits but left enough runners stranded to finish without a run, and an eighth-inning double play by Jason Delay — which shifted win probability by minus 13.1 points — effectively extinguished any remaining hope of a Boston rally.

The Yankees' most consequential offensive moment came in the third inning, when Ben Rice doubled off Max Carlson for an 11.2-point swing in New York's favor. Rice finished as the game's top batter by win probability added, accumulating a plus-19.0 WPA and plus-1.9 RE24 across his contributions. Isiah Kiner-Falefa also stood out at plus-10.1 WPA and plus-1.1 RE24, while Max Ferguson reached on a walk against Carson Coleman in the eighth inning that briefly swung things 16.7 points toward Boston before Delay's double play erased the threat. On the mound, Luis Gil led the pitching staff with a plus-13.1 WPA, supported by Kervin Castro at plus-11.7 and Jake Bird at plus-9.2, as the trio combined to keep Boston's lineup in check through the game's final innings.
