Bosox Youth Move Backfires in 8-5 Loss to Yankees
The Boston Red Sox dropped an 8-5 decision to the New York Yankees as a youth movement backfired. Shortstop Jim Mahoney and pitchers Nelson Chittum and Earl Wilson struggled, while Pumpsie Green, hailed as ready, was sidelined with a fractured right thumb. Mantle and Kubek sparked a big fifth inning, and youth efforts by Lou Boudreau's era were questioned as several young players moved on or traded away. Monbouquette was set to face Hoeft.
