Overview
- The Yankees won Sunday’s finale 7-2 behind two-homer games from Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Trent Grisham, a one-hit, five-walk outing by Carlos Rodón over 5 2/3 innings, and 3 1/3 scoreless frames from the bullpen.
- Boston still took the series 3-1 and owns an 8-2 season edge, including eight straight wins over New York earlier this year.
- Saturday’s 12-1 rout featured seven strong innings and 11 strikeouts from Garrett Crochet, who surpassed 200 strikeouts this season, plus a seven-run ninth punctuated by an Anthony Volpe throwing error and a Paul Blackburn balk.
- New York’s offense mustered just five runs over the first three games, including a 1-0 loss Friday when Brayan Bello, Garrett Whitlock and Aroldis Chapman combined for a shutout.
- The Yankees benched slumping shortstop Anthony Volpe on Sunday in favor of José Caballero, while Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and manager Aaron Boone publicly labeled the club’s results against Boston as unacceptable and infuriating.
