Boston came into the series with an 8-2 record against the Yankees, but New York already won the series before the finale is played on Sunday Night Baseball.

New York beat Boston in the opener of their three-game series behind stellar pitching from starter Luis Gil and another home run from Aaron Judge.

BOSTON — Instant reactions from the Red Sox ’ 5-3 loss to the Yankees on Saturday at Fenway Park:

Max Fried slowed down Boston's offense, and the Yankees added an insurance run in the ninth inning to win at Fenway Park Saturday.

After a couple blowout losses, the Yankees returned the favor last night, as they handled the Tigers in the series finale, led by a couple Aaron Judge homers. Now, they’re set to face a another test, this one with even bigger potential consequences for the standings.

Now, the Red Sox turn to Brayan Bello for a Saturday afternoon tilt. He's a big reason why Boston found success against New York this season. Bello logged 14 scoreless innings with just six hits and 13 strikeouts in his first two outings against the Bronx Bombers this season.
