Big Papi clubbed a pair of tape-measure solo shots off the young right-hander, connecting for a 422-foot blast in the fourth inning and a 398-foot homer in the seventh. Pedroia’s two-run homer in the first provided Wright with instant support, and the knuckleballer did the rest, baffling the Yankees as he turned in the first complete game of his career.
Severino rang up nine strikeouts to tie his career high as he scattered five hits over 6 2/3 innings, but run support continued to be an issue. The Yankees have scored just four runs behind Severino through his first six starts.
Xander Bogaerts tacked on an eighth-inning solo home run off Yankees reliever Chasen Shreve. A ninth-inning two-out homer by Brett Gardner cost Wright a shutout.
