BOSTON — Instant reactions as the Red Sox (37-36) punctuate their best series of the season with a crisp, 2-0 win over the Yankees to finish off a sweep as Brayan Bello dominates and the offense does just enough against ace Max Fried:

On the very first Carlos Rodón pitch a Red Sox batter saw, Rob Refsnyder hit a ball down the left-field line that just bounced on the line and went for a double. While Rodón then very nearly managed to work around that, Anthony Volpe’s throw to first on a two-out grounder skipped past Paul Goldschmidt, allowing Boston to strike first.

It took the Yankees 25 outs to score against Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet on Friday night before they ultimately lost on a walk-off hit in extra innings. On Saturday, they never broke through against starter Hunter Dobbins.

MLB’s biggest rivals meet up on Sunday, June 15 before taking a two-month break between matchups as the New York Yankees face the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in Boston to close out a three-game weekend series.

The Yankees suffered their first regular-season series sweep since last July as the Red Sox dominated at Fenway Park, with New York batters hitting just .160 against Boston pitching.
