Overview
- Sonny Gray carried a no-hit bid into the eighth inning on Sunday night, finishing 7 1/3 innings with one hit, one walk and nine strikeouts while recording his 2,000th career strikeout.
- The Yankees rallied against Aroldis Chapman in the ninth to tie the game and then took a two-run lead in the 10th before Boston produced a three-run bottom-half rally capped by Jarren Duran’s walk-off single.
- Red Sox right fielder Wilyer Abreu committed two costly throwing or fielding errors late in the game that created the Yankees’ ninth- and 10th-inning scoring opportunities.
- Fernando Cruz was charged with the loss after yielding Boston’s three-run 10th-inning rally, and Chapman was charged with a blown save in the ninth, spotlighting late-inning bullpen volatility for both clubs.
- The sweep was Boston’s first four-game sweep of New York since 2018, gave the Red Sox their season-best four-game streak, and dropped the Yankees a game behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East while raising immediate concerns about New York’s injured and slumping offense.
