Red Sox starter Wade Miley (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits in seven innings on Saturday but took the loss against the Yankees.
Miley rebounded from his last start when he gave up seven runs (six earned) on five hits in 2 1/3 innings for a loss.
"We had a pretty aggressive game plan today," said Miley. "Just threw a lot of fastballs and got some outs. It was a lot better. Still got in some three-ball counts. Instead of trying to make too good of a pitch, 3-1, 3-0, I just needed to execute a pitch and get a ground-ball out rather than walk a guy."
Miley's next start is scheduled for Friday in Toronto.
