Red Sox Complete Four-Game Sweep of Yankees With 10th-Inning Walk-Off
The sweep shows Boston's pitching, from starters to relievers, can change the AL East race.
Overview
- Boston finished a four-game sweep of the New York Yankees with a 5-4, 10th-inning walk-off that capped a series in which Sonny Gray carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning and Jarren Durán delivered the winning hit.
- Tampa Bay reclaimed first place in the American League East after a win over Arizona, a stretch that also featured Junior Caminero homering in his fourth straight game.
- Houston rallied past Detroit in extra innings with key hits from Isaac Paredes and a go-ahead three-run homer by Christian Walker, though outlets report different final scores for the game.
- The Yankees' offense has faltered through the series and into the following games, extending a multi-game slide that included being held hitless into the late innings and a subsequent loss that deepened concerns about their scoring depth.
- The Mets replaced Carlos Mendoza with Andy Green as interim manager and Green earned his first win, a change that could alter clubhouse tone in the short term as pitching and late-inning play continue to decide tight division races.
