Barnes (0-1) allowed three runs on two hits and a walk while striking out one in one inning, taking the loss Sunday versus the Yankees.
Barnes had a one-run lead to protect when he entered in the eighth inning, but a DJ LeMahieu RBI single and a two-run homer from Aaron Judge left the veteran reliever with a loss. Barnes has produced mixed results in four appearances this year -- two have been scoreless, and he's yielded four combined runs in the other two. The 30-year-old still serves in a setup role in the Red Sox bullpen despite the unsteady play.
