Overview
- Hunter Dobbins delivered six scoreless innings, scattering two hits and striking out five in Saturday’s 4-3 Boston victory.
- The Red Sox have now defeated the Yankees in all four games of the series at Fenway Park.
- Earlier this week, Dobbins said he would retire rather than pitch for New York based on stories about his father’s baseball ties, a claim later disputed by league sources.
- The Yankees’ struggles were compounded by an Anthony Volpe throwing error that produced Boston’s first run and a Carlos Rodón outing that allowed four runs over five-plus innings.
- Sunday’s series finale will feature Yankees left-hander Max Fried (9-1, 1.84 ERA) against Red Sox right-hander Brayan Bello (2-1, 3.96 ERA) as New York aims to snap its four-game skid.
