Overview

• Brayan Bello stifled New York over seven scoreless innings with three hits allowed and five strikeouts, and Boston’s bullpen finished the shutout.
• Boston improved to 7-1 against New York this season, clinching the season series and the tiebreaker while sliding a half-game ahead for the first AL wild card.
• Connor Wong’s RBI double in the seventh off Mark Leiter Jr., following Nathaniel Lowe’s pinch-hit double, produced the game’s only run.
• The Yankees managed only three singles and a walk, never advancing a runner past first base against Bello, Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman.
• Max Fried, who had a 6.80 ERA over his previous eight starts, rebounded with six scoreless frames (four hits, three walks, seven strikeouts) in the no-decision.
