Overview

  • New York beat Boston 5-3 at Fenway on Saturday to clinch the weekend series, with Max Fried earning his MLB-best 17th win and Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivering three hits, including a homer.
  • Cody Bellinger added a key ninth-inning RBI double off Aroldis Chapman, while Alex Bregman and Jarren Duran homered for the Red Sox as Brayan Bello allowed four runs over five innings.
  • Friday’s opener set the tone as Luis Gil fired six no-hit innings and Aaron Judge homered in a 4-1 Yankees win.
  • Toronto’s late rally kept the Yankees three games back in the AL East, while Boston slipped to 5.5 games behind the Blue Jays and saw its wild-card cushion narrowed to two games over Texas.
  • Across town, the Mets fell 3-2 to the Rangers for an eighth straight loss after Edwin Díaz yielded the go-ahead ninth-inning single, negating rookie Brandon Sproat’s six scoreless innings and Juan Soto’s 40th homer as New York lost control of its wild-card path.
