Yankees Power Past Red Sox 7-2, Avoid Sweep in the Bronx

The New York Yankees delivered a resounding 7-2 victory over the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night, preventing a four-game sweep at Yankee Stadium. Big bats from Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Trent Grisham powered the Yankees' offense as the team closed the gap with their rivals in the American League wild card race.

Game Highlights

Jazz Chisholm Jr. led the charge with a pair of two-run home runs, marking his eighth career multihomer game and his third of the season. His first blast in the second inning was the 100th homer of his career, and he followed up with another shot in the eighth.

Trent Grisham also delivered, hitting solo home runs in consecutive at-bats off Boston starter Dustin May. Grisham now has three homers in 17 at-bats against May.

Carlos Rodón anchored the Yankees' dominance on the mound, allowing just one hit in 5 2/3 innings. Although he tied his season high with five walks, Rodón induced critical double plays to avoid damage before leaving after a demanding sixth inning.

Giancarlo Stanton recorded his 1,600th career hit, slamming a 117.8 mph double and later scoring on a sacrifice fly by José Caballero. Caballero started at shortstop in place of Anthony Volpe, who has been struggling at the plate.

Red Sox Rally Falls Short

The Red Sox, who had outscored the Yankees 19-4 in the first three games of the series, managed only five hits in the finale after collecting 17 on Saturday. Nathaniel Lowe provided a glimmer of hope with a two-run single off Yankees reliever Luke Weaver in the sixth, but the rally was quickly snuffed out.

Key Moment

With runners on the corners in the sixth inning, Yankees reliever Luke Weaver delivered a clutch strikeout, freezing Jarren Duran with a called third strike to end the threat and preserve New York’s 5-2 lead.

Historic Notes and Key Stats

This win snapped the Yankees’ eight-game skid against the Red Sox, improving their record to 2-8 in the season series. Boston, seeking its first sweep of at least four games in the Bronx since 1939, fell short. The Red Sox last swept a five-game series in Yankee Stadium in Ted Williams’ rookie season of 1939.

Up Next

Boston has not yet announced who will fill Walker Buehler’s spot in the rotation as the club heads to Baltimore. The Orioles are set to start Tomoyuki Sugano (10-5, 3.97 ERA).

For the Yankees, Cam Schlittler (1-2, 3.22 ERA) will take the mound against Washington, who will counter with Brad Lord (4-6, 3.46 ERA) on Monday.

In summary

The New York Yankees rebounded from three tough losses to the Boston Red Sox by claiming a much-needed 7-2 victory. Home runs from Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Trent Grisham, coupled with a strong performance from Carlos Rodón, powered the Yankees as they tightened the playoff race and avoided a rare four-game sweep at home. Both clubs now look ahead to pivotal matchups as the AL postseason race heats up.
