Facing the Red Sox (37-36) on back-to-back weekends, the Yankees (42-28) dropped five of six and seemingly gave life to their rival’s season. In The Bronx, it was their pitching that failed them. At Fenway, it was their lifeless bats, plus a costly baserunning miscue in each of the past two games.

The Yankees found themselves on the short end of back-to-back replay decisions in the top of the 10th, leading to ejections for both Aaron Boone and DJ LeMahieu.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone and second baseman DJ LeMahieu were ejected for arguing a controversial foul ball in the team's extra-inning loss to the Boston Red Sox.

The sellout crowd at Fenway Park roared when Brayan Bello came back out of the dugout for the seventh inning on Sunday afternoon. Their cheers only got louder from there. The slender righthander was at his best against the Yankees, pitching seven brilliant innings as the Sox again beat their rivals, 2-0.

New York Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez appeared to have gotten caught napping on the basepaths against the Boston Red Sox on Saturday.
