Facing Yankees reliever Jonathan Loáisiga in the eighth, Boston started the inning with back-to-back solo home runs from third baseman Abraham Toro and shortstop Trevor Story. Suddenly, it was a four-run lead for the Red Sox again.

Aaron Judge hit one of his two home runs Sunday night off Red Sox rookie Hunter Dobbins, whose recent comment that he'd rather retire than play for New York made waves. Said Judge: "I've only heard Ken Griffey say that so I was a little surprised.

Bellinger and Jazz drew a pair of walks to keep the ninth going, but Aroldis Chapman struck out Volpe to end the game, 11-7. Hopefully the starting pitching can have a reset after being at the forefront of the Yankees dropping two of the last three series.
