Overview

• Boston moved a half-game ahead of New York for the American League’s top wild-card spot after back-to-back wins at Yankee Stadium.
• The Red Sox secured the season series 7-1, flipping short-term postseason leverage in a rivalry they have dominated this year.
• Bello allowed three hits over seven innings for his third scoreless start of the season and his second against the Yankees.
• Yankees starter Max Fried threw six shutout innings with seven strikeouts but got a no-decision before Mark Leiter Jr. yielded the decisive seventh-inning RBI double to Connor Wong following Nathaniel Lowe’s pinch-hit double.
• New York was shut out for the ninth time this season, a day after Boston’s rookie Roman Anthony lifted a ninth-inning two-run homer in a 6-3 opener.
