The Yankees suffered their first regular-season series sweep since last July as the Red Sox dominated at Fenway Park, with New York batters hitting just .160 against Boston pitching.
Red Sox Alex Cora credited every part of his club for their sweep of the Yankees. They are 5-1 against the Bombers this year.
Just hours after the Red Sox handed the Yankees their first sweep of the season — and their most impotent offensive series in over a century — Boston pulled off a shocking trade that sent their slugging third baseman Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants.

The Red Sox made the call to trade Rafael Devers to the Giants on Sunday — ending months of drama that began in spring training.
The Red Sox have a chance to break out the brooms for just the second time this season, as Boston can sweep the Yankees out of Fenway Park in Sunday’s series finale. The Red Sox last swept an opponent at the start of April, taking all three games from the Cardinals in the third series of the season.
Starters Lucas Giolito and Walker Buehler have been borderline disasters up until this point, and tonight’s starter, Garrett Crochet (6-4, 2.35 ERA), can only do so much. In a rematch of last week’s matchup, it’s Ryan Yarbrough matching up with Crochet, but there’s a bit of a different wrinkle to the lineup.
With Red Sox up, then the Angels, Orioles, Reds, and Athletics over the next four series — I see a lot of hits coming for Judge, so I played the +1300 for .400 by the All-Star break and sprinkled +5500 for the season.”
